Nick Mellow Interview

Hye Nick how are you ?

I’m fine thanks. Maybe a little bit stressed out because of the many shows I’ve been playing lately.

Could you describe your carreer path ?

I’d say my carreer path is quite steady. There’s always something going on and I like that. My fanbase has constantly crown the last years, and so did the venues I played in. Now I’m excited about what comes next.

Tell us about your new single "Wait and See" Where did you find the inspiration for this title?

Well, as a musician I often have to deal with difficult questions of self-doubt. Sometimes I ask myself if I ever reach my goals or if I’m good enough in what I’m doing. « Wait And See » is about enjoying the moment, taking things like they come, and don’t seeing the life too serious.

Music is (for you) above all a passion, a desire or a need ?

It’s a bit of everything, I think. If there’s no passion and no desire, there can’t be good, authentic music. For me, music isn’t a need in a financial way, but more to be happy every single day.
