00:00Hi, I'm Nessa Barrett, and this is the Wired Autocomplete Interview.
00:06See, when I'm looking at my name this much, it just doesn't look like my name anymore.
00:11I think there's a word for that, semantic satiation. Have you ever heard of that?
00:14Oh, I thought it was just dyslexia.
00:22How tall is Nessa Barrett?
00:24On my ID, it's five foot, but I actually went to the doctor recently, and I'm 4'9".
00:31My least favorite part about being 4'9", is I think every time I walk into a room, I feel
00:35like a child.
00:36I can't reach the top shelf. It's hard. It's a hard life.
00:44I don't know. It was a SoundCloud name that I made randomly.
00:50It's really random, but it just felt right.
00:53Right. And then my fans kind of just call me that now.
00:58What tattoos does Nessa Barrett have?
01:03I have like 60, so we'd be here all day if I go over all of them.
01:08My most recent one, I have a matching tattoo with Brie, my best friend.
01:14And two cherries with a little bow, which is kind of cute.
01:17Is Nessa Barrett removing her tattoos?
01:20I want to. I want to. It's been a really long debate. I'm really scared of pain.
01:26Well, that's a lie, but I think I have a few that I'd really like to get removed.
01:35When did Nessa Barrett get famous?
01:38I don't really like that word.
01:40I feel like people know me, but famous is crazy.
01:44I feel like I got a little popular when I was 16, 17 on social media.
01:52And then I started doing music when I was 17, 18.
01:57When I first started, it was something that was really random and kind of scary.
02:01At first I loved it because I think coming from like a small town in New Jersey and not really
02:06having a lot of friends,
02:09having like thousands of people online like me was super cool.
02:13But yeah, after a while I was like, hmm, I don't know if I'm built for this. It's kind of
02:18crazy.
02:18What is Nessa Barrett's most popular song?
02:23Am I allowed to say it? Is it inappropriate?
02:26Porn star?
02:30I don't know how that happened.
02:32I think it was the anime edits to it on TikTok.
02:34I thought it was a cool song.
02:36I definitely didn't think that that would be the one that would do well.
02:41Because I feel like I make a lot of like deep and like emotional vulnerable songs.
02:48To have a song called Porn Star be the one that really did it for me is crazy, but lucky
02:55I guess.
02:57What is Nessa Barrett's new song about?
02:59My new song, High on Heaven, is really all about how love is an addiction.
03:06My favorite lyric is, a man is a woman's worst drug, which I stand by that.
03:12I love throwing things.
03:21I'm looking at my team behind the camera.
03:23Later this year.
03:25Yeah.
03:25I think all of the music that I release is going to be different than the last because I am
03:33like growing and maturing with it.
03:35And so I think the older I get, the older my songs feel and the more mature they are.
03:41And yeah, I've been really prioritizing making music for myself and for the art.
03:48Who does Nessa Barrett want to collab with?
03:52The Neighborhood.
03:53Love them.
03:54I've been a fan of The Neighborhood since I was like ripe age of 10.
03:59I feel like my music has always been heavily inspired by them naturally because I love them so much.
04:06And yeah, I feel like our sounds would blend beautifully.
04:12Nessa Barrett, mukbang.
04:14If we're being open and honest, I am a girl that has struggled with eating in the past.
04:21And so watching mukbangs has been something that's really helped me to eat with someone on camera.
04:28And also there was a few years ago, me and my best friend Cooper, we actually made a mukbang video.
04:36I don't know if it's talking about that one.
04:38But we ordered everything at Taco Bell and we sat down and we just talked about our struggles with eating
04:46disorders.
04:46And it was actually really sweet.
04:48It was a way for us to talk about a sensitive topic while eating and hoping that people that struggle
04:55can watch it and eat with us.
04:58But yeah, maybe I should do those more often.
05:03That one went far.
05:05Okay.
05:07What is on Nessa Barrett's For You Bait?
05:13I get a lot of astrology, spiritual videos, witchy stuff, funny AI stuff.
05:22That's kind of been annoying recently because I never know what's real and what's not.
05:25My favorite is kind of all over the place.
05:27Like me.
05:28Oh, book talk.
05:29I don't know how I forgot that.
05:31Book talk.
05:31So I actually just started reading ACOTAR.
05:33The third one, A Court of Wings and Ruin.
05:37Probably one of the best books I've read in so long.
05:39What does Nessa Barrett struggle with?
05:45A lot?
05:46Let's see.
05:48I struggle with what I'm going to wear in the morning.
05:52Sometimes I struggle with writing songs.
05:55Sometimes I struggle with eating.
05:58Sometimes I struggle with crying too much.
06:02Sometimes I struggle with being too cool.
06:14I actually originally wrote it because I'm just terrified of losing the people that I love.
06:22And I think the concept of death is really scary for me, especially with my loved ones.
06:30And then it unfortunately adapted a brand new meaning after I lost my best friend.
06:36So yeah, Die First is dedicated to Cooper, who is my best friend of all time.
06:43I'm really flinging these things.
06:47Nessa Barrett, best TikTok.
06:50I don't know.
06:51I kind of hate everything that I post.
06:54I'll post something and then I'll throw my phone across the room because it's just scary.
06:59I think the idea of possibly everyone seeing a video is a little intimidating, but yeah,
07:06I don't know.
07:07My best TikTok.
07:07I feel like that's probably for other people to decide.
07:11Nessa Barrett, Lana Del Rey.
07:13I love her.
07:14I'm the biggest fan.
07:16I got to perform with her at a festival in Alabama, which was really sick.
07:22We sang my song, American Jesus together.
07:25Best moment of my life, probably.
07:27It still doesn't feel real.
07:29Kinda, not even kinda.
07:31It's super crazy.
07:33Nessa Barrett, biggest influences.
07:36I feel like for the music that I'm making now, I've been heavily inspired by Massive
07:41Attack and Portishead.
07:43I love Prince, Amy Winehouse, Stevie Nicks.
07:46I feel like there's so many.
07:50Nessa Barrett in five years.
07:53I don't really think about it.
07:54I think that's kind of a tricky thing to think about.
07:57I think that I'm pretty comfortable in knowing that I like what I do in life and I'm probably
08:04always gonna do this and so whoever God or the universe decides to take me in five years,
08:10I'm here for the ride.
08:13Well, that's all the questions.
08:15I thought that was super fun.
08:17Kinda crazy that those are the most Googled things, but I guess it makes sense.
