Raised in Washington, DC in a household overflowing with musical diversity, *Nick Hakim* effortlessly blends genres to create his unique sound. Influenced by soul, hip-hop, go-go, folk music and more from his Chilean and Peruvian parents, Nick's music combines the ambient airy sound of psychedelic with the raw gut-wrenching emotion of the blues. With an early admiration for Marvin Gaye and Harry Nilsson, Nick showcases his talent through a broad range of instruments alongside shared production duties.

What sets *Nick Hakim* apart is the vulnerability of his vocals. Intimate and silken, they serve as a powerful instrument that never pushes itself to excess. His introductory recordings reflect this beautifully. Drawing inspiration from artists like Charlotte Dos Santos, Nai Palm, Jon Bap and Madison McFerrin among others; Nick creates a captivating musical experience that resonates with listeners on a deep level.

If you're looking for an artist who effortlessly fuses genres while delivering heartfelt performances filled with emotional depth and authenticity; look no further than *Nick Hakim*. His mesmerizing sound will transport you to another world.

Nick Hakim‘s debut full-length album Green Twins follows his breakthrough Where Will We Go, Pt. I and II EPs that were self-released on his Earseed Records and praised by the New York Times, NPR Music and more. Green Twins is an experimental step forward with emotional heft gleaned from his experiences in the years since. Intimate first single Bet She Looks Like You, was recorded mostly in the New York-based singer-songwriter’s home bedroom, and was one of the first songs that saw Hakim embrace his new experimental way of songwriting and recording. The record draws from influences spanning Robert Wyatt, Marvin Gaye and Shuggie Otis to My Bloody Valentine. “We wanted to imagine what it would have sounded like if RZA had produced a Portishead album. We experimented with engineering techniques from Phil Spector and Al Green’s Back Up Train, drum programming from RZA and Outkast, and were listening to a lot of The Impressions, John Lennon, Wu-Tang, Madlib, and Screaming Jay Hawkins.”
