Solo by Nas & Jim

With a selfie stick as a shaky grip, Solo by Nas & Jim sings of the tragedy of the narcissistic human.

With a selfie stick as a shaky grip, Solo by Nas & Jim the tragedy of the narcissistic person. What if you want to reach the whole world, but you can't see past your own reflection? A musical performance with a lot of self-love, self-mockery, hard beats and an ode to the most vain songs from current pop and rap culture.

Solo by Nas & Jim is an ego-tripping duet in the form of a casual electro-pop concert. Nastaran Razawi Khorasani (performer and vocalist) and Jimi Zoet (composer/producer and performer) are on stage as a two-piece band that is constantly going on solo tours. With a line-up of arrogant acts and selfish (pop) songs, they try to communicate with each other by talking about themselves all the time.

“I’m an instant star, just add water” (Benthe Janssen, 14 years old).

"A 45 minute delight to watch and listen to. (...) Solo by Nas & Jim is funny, musically beautiful and captivating, offering a confronting mirror."

"The exuberant Khorasani and the understated Zoet are a pleasure to watch: both musically and in terms of performance, the production is well put together."
