When Nasti is not busy touring or working on

radio shows you’ll find her in the studio. ‘Music is

my world’ she says, ‘I love to produce. It’s the time

I take to express how I feel in the moment or

generally in life. It reflects my strengths and

weaknesses, my happiness and sadness.’

Miss Moto has been establishing herself as a

brand for the past couple of years. She has been

spotted performing at major shows across the

UK, Ibiza, Germany, India and Cyprus and has

toured alongside DJMag TOP100 artists in the

likes of Infected Mushroom and Astrix. Highlights

include performing at the 02 Arena - London, Q

club - Birmingham, Eden Club - Ibiza, Concorde 2 -

Brighton, Spiritual Healing Festival – Germany

and Blue Frog - Mumbai.

Nasti Moto’s stage name came as part of her real

name Nastia Motovilova. Born in Moscow and

bred in Cyprus since the age of 2, Nasti moved to

London by the age of 16 where she graduated

with excellence in fashion design at the

renowned University of the Arts. Shortly

thereafter, she completed a course at London

School of Sound which led to her first steps into

the music industry.

‘My mom says that when I was little I always used

to say: “when I grow up, I’ll either paint or dance”

I guess I sort of did both!’ Nastia has always been

the artistic type. She won first prize on a

National Arts Award in Cyprus at the age of 11,

took ballet classes for 9 years, and studied the

piano since the age of 6.

Influenced by many genres in the electronic

music scene, Nasti likes to experiment by

‘crossing genres’, which is reflected in her

live performances. Her music can be classified as Tech Trance, a hint of Drum & Bass and dirty analogue sounds.

Nasti’s experimental track ‘Elephants on Acid’ has become highly popular without it ever even

being released. ‘I really don’t know how that happened. I was fooling around in the studio and

decided to make Elephants on Acid. It’s not even finished or mixed to a standard I would be happy

with. So I send it to a couple of friends and next thing I know it’s on youtube with a funny animation

taken from a scene from a Disney cartoon and its hitting so many views! Now that video is all over

the internet’.

‘Elephants on Acid’ is not Nasti’s only production that has gotten so much attention. Her latest

tech trance track ‘Haydn’ (now available on Beatport), is gradually becoming a success, with DJs

playing it all over the world.

Don’t be mistaken, Nastia’s production skills are not the only object of her growing success. Her

live shows are known to always cause a stir on the dance floor. The energy levels of her stage

appearance are so high, they transmit into the crowd leaving them screaming with excitement.

‘I don’t find a party a success unless the people become ecstatic. They are there to have fun and I

want them to dance with their souls and leave any worries behind. That’s my job. I find myself to be a

failure if I don’t achieve that’.

Nastia has just returned from her 2011 Tour of India and is already working on her new music and

truthfully, we cannot wait any longer!
