Niko Kapetan of Friko joins us to kick off our fifth season, sharing an incredible journey from the inception of his musical passion to his current creative explorations. Imagine being a child, watching The Beatles' "Love" in Las Vegas, and having that moment light a fire within you—that's where Nico's story begins. Nico talks about his evolution from playing piano and drums to discovering the guitar as a powerful tool for songwriting during his high school days. His collaboration with drummer Bailey Minzenberger marks a significant turn towards a more interactive and collective approach in his recent projects.
We also delve into the emotional rollercoaster that inspired one of Nico's impactful records, highlighting themes of defeat and resilience born from his warehouse work during the pandemic. The heartfelt simplicity of the song "Until I'm with You Again" shines through as a beacon of genuine artistic expression. Nico recounts unforgettable moments from playing festivals like Bonnaroo, performing at a packed Metro in Chicago, and connecting with audiences in Asia, illustrating music's profound power as a universal language. Nico shares his excitement for new music and hints at another album coming in 2025, promising continued growth and artistic exploration.
