Hollywood Nobody

Bio:

BEFORE ___________

‘Hollywood nobody’ was taken from a term in US, about people (artists) who wants to join the biggest entertainment industry (hollywood) but still remain as a nobody. This term represents our desire to be musicians, and to be ‘somebody’ in a world music industry, someday. Hollywood nobody was formed on 29th September 2005 in Bandung, Indonesia. It begins from Dian’s willing to perform in her friend’s small gig. We were performing Feist’s and Kings of Convenience’s songs in a smooth bossanova way. Just fyi, it went terrible. But after the gig, we went to dinner and start to combine our ideas to make a serious concept about Hollywood nobody’s music. We decided to concentrate in bossanova genre with the sense of each personality as a person, and the harmony as a band. To be honest, as a different personalities, seven of us are listening to different kinds of music as well. But the differences become our special characteristic as a unique harmony and creates Hollywood nobody’s bossanova, starting with these singles.


NOWDAYS__________

Hollywood nobody has become a conceptual band, a band focused on bossanova, and a mix of other genre such as pop and pull up a dark theme. Hollywood nobody’s lyrics are telling about the reality of life from young adult’s view. Common issues such friendship, romance, and how to face the complex days of live, we keep thinking that life is not always magnificent and colorful. Sometimes, life could be darker than we’ve ever imagined. This dark side is what we poured into Hollywood nobody’s lyrics. But we also realized, there are other colors represent to lighten the dark side, and as a young adult we should still enjoy our dark and light lives. Hollywood nobody’s music represents it. So far, we had produced 12 songs and perform on stage and off stage (radio performance). We also covering other bands songs (different genre) in a Hollywood nobody way. Conceptually, we play what we like, and we will never make music contradictory with our desire and our idealism. We will never tread on whats in and hot in the industry at the moment. We are not rebel., yet we are not posseur. Hollywood nobody is our heart, our soul, and our mind.


FUTURAMA__________

In the future, Hollywood nobody wants to spread the spirit globally, compete with other musicians and bands from other side of the world, and show the world that Indonesia has great musicians with quality and original ideas. And, with this profile, we are inviting the readers, together with us to complete our desire, and bring Indonesian music industry to the next level - global industry. it’s a pleasure working with you!

sincerely,
Hollywood nobody. ..
