Early history

Sam and Zé met at a friend's studio in April 2003 and began making music together shortly after that.

Initially, the two began producing music together purely for fun, using samples of rare Brazilian records from the 1960s and 1970s (discovered through a shared love of "crate digging") but this quickly developed into recording music seriously with several of their favorite musicians.

Sam and Zé wanted their new project to bring people from vastly different backgrounds together through a shared inspiration and love of music. Thus N.A.S.A. was born and they have since collaborated with artists as disparate as Ol' Dirty Bastard, Karen O, Fatlip, George Clinton, Chali 2na, Tom Waits, Kool Keith, Kanye West, David Byrne, Childish Gambino, Lizzo, and DMX.
