Your name:
Giovanni
Zappa.
Where
are you from?
I
was born in Italy, spent some time in Kenya and now live in London, UK.
Name
of band:
Nishe.
Who
else is in your band?
Harold
Wilson (Australia) - Bass
Thomas
Romer-Smith (UK) - Drums
How
would you describe yourselves?
We
are an alternative-rock band with an indie background, mixing engaging grooves
and energetic riffs, eclectic sounds and catchy melodies. I’d say the best way
for people to find out is to come to our gigs!
Who
are your main influences musically?
Mainly
Kasabian, Muse, Oasis, Arctic Monkeys, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Kooks, Bob
Marley, as well as many other artists and bands from different places and eras.
What
do you hope to achieve in music?
We’d
like to be inspirational, delivering emotions to as many people as possible,
writing songs that mean to people what the songs that we love mean to us.
What
has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?
Recording
our EP “This Is Nishe” was definitely a great achievement, especially after all
the hard work we did to get such a result. Studio time is very challenging and
really improves your skills as a musician, giving a clearer sight of your own
style and what you really want to get out of it, so we’re glad that we could
experience that.
And
what’s the moment you want to forget?
I
don’t think there’s been one yet, and also every moment of our career so far
made us what we are, so we couldn’t complain
If you
had to pick just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be
and why?
Each
of our songs has different facets, and I always try to keep an innovative
approach during the songwriting process, but if I had to pick just one out of
our EP it would be “This Time” as it features all the major elements of our
music and style: catchy melodies, gritty vocals, some reggae inspired grooves,
psychedelic bits like the intro and the guitar solo, a pinch of electronic
sounds when the synth comes in during the drop…
Where
can we listen to it?
Where
can we find out more about your music?
