Lil Flower Nasti
Sarah Arnold (born April 2, 1992), known professionally as Lil Flower Nasti, is an American vocalist, and photographer. She started in the San Francisco Bay Area music scene in 2016 as a live performance photographer, shooting for big names such as Doja Cat, KRS- ONE, D-Smoke and Rakim, however it wasn’t until she started participating in San Francisco's Return Of The Cypher, that others began to notice her singing abilities. Her skills grabbed the attention of many Bay Area musicians and rappers as she began collaborating with artists such as, Gennessee, Z-Man, Unlearn The World, and LiL MC.

Born and raised in Palmdale, CA Lil Flower Nasti's upbringing into a musical family encouraged her to explore singing from a very young age. Her father, Ted Arnold, well known for his start in The Horn and Hardart Children's Hour and later for playing bass with world renowned latin pop star Jose Feliciano and Glenn Yarbrough, surrounded her with music from the day she was born. She was introduced to the stage at the young age of 7, as she would often get booked to sing at weddings, graduations and large events in Southern California. Her creative talents expanded beyond singing as she began exploring photography and graphic design, which led to her developing her own career as a freelance performance photographer, website designer, and graphic designer.

Her debut project, The Blooming EP, was released in 2020 and told the conceptual story of her first night out. Paired with the nostalgic golden-age production of UnLearn The World, the singer’s natural neo-soul tendencies displayed her ability to effortlessly glide vocally over Boom Bap inspired drum production.

In August of 2020, started recording with with smooth, stylistic producer and multi-instrumentalist, Vagabond Lover on two funk and soul singles, “Beautiful Goodbye” and “How”,

In November of 2021, Nasti started working with Bay Area native and prolific grammy-nominated producer Gennesee along with his team, Noble House Music, (including Genevive Goings, Cait La Dee, and Daniel "The D3" Cohen), to produce her first full LP. Her recent single off of this project “Bye Bye Boy” featuring San Francisco Rapper Z-Man was named #1 radio hit by Chuck D’s radio show “And You Don’t Stop” in October of 2022.
