N*

Producer, singer and songwriter North Star (stylized as N*) is known for his unique style that enmeshes elements of pop, hip-hop, R&B and electronic genres to form his own cosmic sound. He first landed in 2010 with his limited-run album, ‘North Star Anthems’ (released under his label, R.E.A.L. Entertainment), followed by a series of singles like ‘Perfect’ and ‘KOMH (King Of My Hill)’. The artist/producer is now working on his next project coming summer 2022.

Having collaborated with the likes of Moia Bri (‘When it Snows’) and Vinne (‘Pursuit of Happiness’), and racked up performances at iconic clubs, bars and parties around Minnesota - including The Fine Line, Myth Nightclub and the legendary First Avenue nightclub (best known as the iconic location for Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’ film), North Star is ready to make music after a hiatus.

As an artist, North Star (real name André Lipsey) brings the raw and the real. Open about his struggles with mental health, North Star embraces his depression as a superpower that blesses him with deeper connections to himself, his fans, and his art. His music memorializes life’s meaningful moments, good and bad alike, and is inspired by the idea of being able to help others navigate tough times through art.

With positive energy, a self-help mentality and a little bit of magic, North Star lights an unapologetic fire in his listeners to aim far beyond the stars to reach where they want to be. Bringing an inimitable vibe to his music, with lyrics based on his past and his perseverance, this emerging artist is ready to motivate, inspire, and shoot beyond the sky. Are you ready to join him?
