NIN HAO SOUNDS: Staff After Hours

About the Series:
This is part of NIN HAO SOUNDS, a new weekly series spotlighting the hidden musical talents of Nin Hao’s own staff. Every Wednesday night, the restaurant transforms into an intimate performance space for artists who bring just as much passion to the stage as they do to service.

Performers:

Crystal Core
An eclectic singer-songwriter fusing soulful R&B with dreamy psychedelia and blues. Crystal’s music evokes a nostalgic tenderness and soft surrealism—like sunlight through a dusty window. Originally from Northern California and now based in NYC, she brings raw honesty, healing, and a signature style that evolves daily as a form of self-expression.

Jackson Trapp
A multi-hyphenate artist (singer, songwriter, producer) channeling vulnerability and warmth through alternative soul, pop, and R&B. His breakout single LAUNDRY blends ethereal guitar layers with bedroom-made intimacy, offering a glimpse into love and self-reflection.
