Your names:
Emilie Aubert and Nixon Vandel.
Where are you
from?
Emilie is originally from France and Nixon from California. We are based
in San Francisco but we’re moving to Paris, France, in a few months.
Name of band:
SKNE.
Who else is in
your band?
Only us two.
How would you
describe yourselves?
We are an indie electronic duo.
Emilie, a music major and multi-instrumentalist, is in charge of the live
instruments and the arrangements, while Nixon, influenced by years of DJing,
takes care of the mixing and lighting. We like to mix electronic music with
real live instruments.
Who are your
main influences musically?
We have really diverse influences, that ranges from
indie rock, electronic music, hip-hop, and even classical music. Our music is
deeply influenced by all these genres.
What do you hope
to achieve in music?
We would like to be able to play shows regularly while
keeping on getting new music out and enjoying ourselves. However, the most
important thing we would like to achieve is move people with our music. Nothing
is better than having someone moved by our music.
What has been
the highlight of your career so far, and why?
Releasing our first EP. We spent
a lot of time trying to define our sound and write songs that sound like a mix
of both of us. It was the first songs that represents us and we are really
proud of that.
And what’s the
moment you want to forget?
Honestly there is none. Everything about our band
has been a great experience so far.
If you had to
pick just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why?
It would probably be Vindication. We like to play on the contrast between our
male and female voices and between the real live instruments (like the guitar)
and electronic sounds.
Where can we
listen to it?
Where can we
find out more about your music?
Anything else
you’d like to say about your band/music that I forgot to ask?
We would like to
thank you for helping promote indie artists. The world needs more people like
you!
