Particle Kid

J. Micah Nelson has music in his blood, having grown up touring with his father, outlaw country legend Willie Nelson. Micah continued in his father’s footsteps, delving into a life exploring iconoclastic music and visual art. He has played in a number of unique musical projects, being conscious to never retread any familiar paths in his evolution as an artist. His earliest recordings were with LA-based psych/punk collective Insects Vs. Robots, but he eventually joined his brother Lukas Nelson, and began collaborating with the legendary Neil Young. His current focus is his solo future-folk project Pårticle Kid.
