Gene Nartey

Ghanaian-American multi-hyphenate Gene Nartey, 26, moves through Brooklyn with an athlete’s discipline and an artist’s eye, balancing work as a model with a parallel life in technology and sound. Rooted in his studies in Computer Science and Art, his daily practice spans software engineering, visual design, music production, and songwriting, giving him a sharp sensitivity to aesthetics, form, movement, and atmosphere on set. This blend of technical precision and creative intuition allows him to show up for clients with focus and flexibility, reading the room and translating direction into an expressive, camera-ready presence. He loves to be challenged creatively, understanding the trust and immersion involved in stepping into a role or character for a client, and has brought that presence to brands such as Nike, Cécred, e.l.f. and Lululemon. Off set, Gene keeps evolving his creative voice, building a distinct visual and sonic world under his artist moniker GENiAS. At the same time, he engineers software tools at Warner Music Group that quietly empower and elevate other artists behind the scenes.
