artxxnas Is Building a Queer Pop Universe in Los Angeles — and “STAR” Is His Declaration

Artur Nasyrov left Russia in 2022 and landed in Los Angeles in late 2023. As artxxnas, he has turned his body, his exile and his training as a landscape architect into one interconnected practice — music, body-made paintings, clothing and performance. His new single “STAR,” out 13 August 2026, is the English-language declaration at the center of it.
