Nahko Bear is an American singer-songwriter and the voice behind Nahko and Medicine for the People, creating music rooted in the belief that music is medicine.

Carrying Native heritage alongside Filipino and Puerto Rican roots, Nahko channels lived experience, trauma, and healing into songs that speak to resilience, accountability, and collective restoration. 

Nahko is currently on the “Take Your Power Back Tour”, following a 30-show U.S. run last year and a very successful tour of the UK and Europe in February this year, he is now bringing the tour to his beloved fans in Australia. 

After stepping away from the corporate music industry, he reclaimed his path as an independent artist, revisiting his catalogue as his early albums reached their 10-year mark and re-recording select songs acoustically.

Recent releases include the powerful live album Live at Red Rocks and a stripped-back piano version of “Bend Like the Willow.” Grounded in survival and renewal, Nahko’s work continues to reflect an unbreakable spirit and a commitment to growth, truth, and healing.
