Anastasia Hera was born in San Antonio, Texas, but moved to Austin as a young child. From an early age, she immersed herself in music, playing piano and singing in her church and school choirs. Her passion for music deepened when she discovered KAZI 88.7, the voice of Austin, a station renowned for its diverse mix of hip-hop, R&B, jazz, and gospel. It was the station’s iconic 90s shows, showcasing both East and West Coast hip-hop along with regional sounds, that truly ignited her love for rap. Influenced by pioneering acts like A Tribe Called Quest and Rakim, Anastasia quickly became enamored with the art of rap. By the time she was 12, she was writing her own rhymes and stepping into local ciphers around her neighborhood. Inspired by the storytelling mastery of artists like Scarface, she developed a deep appreciation for rap’s narrative power. - KUTX
