Indie Rapper | Writer | Chef | Entrepreneur
BIO:
Quanstar is an underground hip hop artist out of Atlanta. Originally from Compton, his early influences were artists like Ice Cube, Souls of Mischief, and Common.
Quanstar’s music reflects his interests and history. Sometimes he tells stories of his life growing up in Compton in the ’90’s; sometimes he’s spitting intricate lyrics referencing comics, sci-fi, or his love anime; and other times he’s talking about fatherhood and marriage.
Quanstar’s passion is creating and pushing forth indie hip hop culture through advocacy and education.
