About Alex Nicol
Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Driving up to our cottage in the summer, I remember listening to Neil Young and Cat Stevens as a child.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Neil Young, Harvest Radiohead, In Rainbows The Libertines, Up the Bracket Harvest has some of Neil Young's best music, and he's my main inspiration. "In Rainbows" showed me a whole new world of recording and songwriting, so that's huge. And "Up the Bracket" made me want to pursue music for real.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Hollywood” “Hollywood” because the music expresses the odd mix of angst, frustration, and acceptance I feel more than words could ever do.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Opening for The House of Love across the USA. I played in front of 900 people at the Regent Theatre in LA, which was incredible. Then the next night the tour finished at Pappy and Harriets, a venue that Paul McCartney has played at! Dream stuff.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I want Neil Young to hear my music, tour in Europe (especially Germany, where my Mom is from), and make real and honest singer-songwriter records.
