Home and studio on wheels
Van Life
I built a van into my home and studio, and now I make music from the road. Everything you ask me about lives here: the van tour, how I record in it, how I built it, and where I’m headed next.

New here?
The van is where I live. Music is what I do.
I’m 3D Na’Tee, a recording artist from New Orleans. I’ve rapped with Kendrick Lamar, worked with Missy Elliott, Timbaland and Justin Timberlake, and opened for Lauryn Hill. Everything I make on the road starts in this van.
