Sounds Like
I get so many different "you sound like's" but here goes:
Neil Young on Estrogen; Guster, only with a girl singing and no backing band; --insert any folk-y female artist from the 60's to the 90's--; and recently I had someone mention I was sorta like Dar Williams.
She began her life as we all do. After a complicated and delayed birth, the world was introduced to Nicole Marie De Fino. Music and songwriting came naturally to Nicole. She began her career as a songwriter making up songs about things both silly and scary. At the age of 16 Nicole receieved the gift of music in the form of a guitar. That's when it all became a serious venture for the young songwriter. Though at first her songs lacked professionalism and structure, Nicole kept at it. She kept writing and eventually she perfected her style. The music you hear today was only possible through the persistance of one girls dream to sing and play for anyone who would/will listen. Listen to any one of Nicole's songs, and you will immediatly crave to hear them all.
Nicole's influences span many different genres and each brought a different aspect of singing and songwriting to the table. She lists Michael Nesmith, Neil Young, Barenaked Ladies, Guster, The Who, and Kevin Hearn all as influences. Her music does not truly sound like any complete combination of these artists, but each of them has inspired Nicole in one way or another.
To sum it all up -- Nicole doesn't sing to impress people with cute, trite, fabricated songs; she sings from the heart. Every song is sincere and loaded with emotion, and she really tries to make you feel where she's coming from. That's what music should be about. Inspiring yet with touches of subtle humour; Nicole's songs tell the stories of lost loves, people you'd do anything for, and perhaps just about anything else you could possibly think of. From Aliens to the end of the world, to impotent boyfriends and secret lovers. Complicated yet completely simple; these are the songs that you wish you wrote.
