Nick Festari is #Flyah




Nick Festari


WRITER / ARRANGER / SINGER 

Roberto Festari (a.k.a. Nick Festari) started to study piano at 9 years old. When he was 16, he became one of the organists of his parish. It was there that he took his first steps accompanying a talented choir during the liturgical celebrations and performances. In that period, Nick met the 2 people who would have believed in him, and together they have been writing some of the best eurobeat hits for years. In 1986 he started a cover band with some friends where he has been playing keyboards for about 2 years. In 1987 the musicians and Live Music Studio owners Claudio Accatino & Federico Rimonti began to work with the well-known dance producer Mark Farina. Nick Festari started to cooperate with them playing some arrangements and rhythmics, progressively improving his studio work skills. In the meantime, he became a member of a band and gospel/Christian rock choir that performed in some churches and small local theaters. Furthermore, he participated in various song contests as writer, winning the last edition in 1992. In the same year, Accatino & Rimonti joined Time Records (a famous Italian dance label) and proposed to Nick to writing new melodies for the Japanese audience. Two years later, Claudio and Federico started their own label, "HI-NRG ATTACK", where Festari was involved in writing almost 800 songs in about 20 years, also arranging and often singing these tracks behind many aliases with his own particular style. These songs have been long appreciated by the Japanese fans and a good part of the world that love eurobeat and Italo-dance. At the end of 2012, Nick considered the chance to undertake a solo career and began to write a voice/piano pop-ballad. Once finished, he took some months to make a hard decision, and in summer 2013 he took a chance and left eurobeat, dance scenes and HI-NRG ATTACK that gave many satisfactions and professional skills to him. Now Nick Festari dives into pop-music trying to reach for a totally new audience with his own style so appreciated in his former path.

Somalia has birthed a metalcore/deathcore pioneer by the name Dahir Dubi

A Somali metalcore/deathcore Artist just when you thought you heard  everything. This is the type of art everyone needs to hear one that is not simply formed of inner-city struggle and then you just do the obvious thing and get pigeonholed into making drill or hip-hop, or whatever is deemed to be as the kids say “popping” at the time. This is not also a story of privilege where your parents gave you every advantage there is, you studied music  at the best schools and college, and your father finally decided to cash in on that favour the big music executive owes him. No this is a story of falling in love with a music genre that no one in your immediate circle understands. Realising, people you have known for years think you are weird and perhaps worship satin. This is a story of losing friends because they want  you to conform and just be “normal”. This is a story of being someone you choose to be  rather than what people expect you to be and standing up for your individuality.   This r

  Where are you from and what’s it like in your hometown? I am born and mostly raised in New Bedford, Massachusetts. New Bedford is full of hardworking and creative people. It's got It's ups and downs just like everywhere. For me it's home and where I feel the most comfortable. The art scene is really taking off over these last few years and added with some great restaurants, it's really growing. What inspired you to develop your craft as a music artist? The journey started without music. Poetry started as a way out from the world. It saved my life. So I guess you could say my struggle with depression at an early age was the match that lit the fire. After that it was just curiosity and finding out where I wanted to go with it and being open to new adventures. Has the lifestyle of being a poet influenced your personal life in any way?  If so would you care to shed light on your experience? Poetry has literally saved my life a couple times. I get lost in my head and writi
