Alfred Nomad is a Los Angeles based multi-disciplinary artist, emcee, and community organizer using music and creative experiences as tools for connection, healing, and social impact.

Blending alternative hip-hop with jazz, funk, and eclectic influences, Alfred’s work exists at the intersection of art, advocacy, and community creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, and empowered.

The Journey

Alfred is my real name. Nomad is the journey.

For over a decade, I’ve released original music, performed nationally and internationally, and built community-centered projects rooted in authenticity, wellness, and creative freedom. My work is guided by a simple belief that art is not just entertainment, it’s a bridge between people.

Whether on stage, in a workshop, or inside a community space, my goal is the same: to create meaningful moments that inspire reflection, dialogue, and collective action.


What I Do

Live Performances
Purpose-driven live shows that blend music, storytelling, and audience connection that’s ideal for venues, festivals, universities, and community events.

Speaking & Workshops
Talks and facilitated experiences centered on creativity, mental wellness, identity, and using art as a tool for social impact.

Community Programming & Facilitation
Designing and leading arts-based programs, residencies, and creative activations that foster belonging, skill-building, and sustainable creative ecosystems.
