At the early age of ten, Nasty Nes came to the Northwest from the Philippines. His sister began to continue education at New York University and Nes would spend much of his time there during the summer season. Immersed in the birthplace of Hip Hop culture, he was influenced by many of the Hip Hop legends such as Grandmaster Flash, Mr. Magic and other pioneering deejays.

Motivated, Nasty Nes would return to Seattle and eventually host the first Hip-Hop radio show in the West Coast. This show was named "Freshtracks" on 1250 KFOX. Shortly after, Nes was granted the right to extend his well-received program to weeknights; which became "NightBeat". 1985 brought about the creation of his label Nes co-founded, called NASTYMIX Records with Ed Locke.

While checking out a local Hip Hop show at the Boy's Club located in the Central District, Nasty Nes would meet an emerging artist named Sir Mix-A-Lot. There relationship flourished and Mix-A-Lot would become the first artist on the label's roster. They released Mix's "Square Dance Rap" which sold around 75,000 copies. Then in 1988, "Posse's on Broadway" which became a Seattle anthem establishing the first national appearance of a Seattle Hip Hop artist. It then reached its pinnacle in 1993 when Mix-A-Lot received a Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance for "Baby Got Back".
