Episode 12 - Nico Peña // Musician.
--
“Nico Peña is a relatively new friend of mine but I can say without hesitation that I back dude 100%. Although we grew up on opposite sides of the country, we did both grew up skateboarding and it always amazes me how easy it is for people like us to connect and to do so just instantly. We have a world full of relatable references and parallel experiences to speak on. Nico’s a freaking sweetie pie of a dude, a very cool guy with really great taste and is someone that I hope to spend more time with. If you haven’t listened to his music, check out his latest album “Para Ti” by PEÑA. He’s making some really groovy bops.
In this episode of BEDROOM™, Nico and I discuss the significance of embracing and asserting your own creative and personal identity. Nico shares how local San Francisco bands like The Breathing Room and Mild Universe inspired him to form his own band, while also touching on the unfortunate trend of SF bands relocating to LA once they gain a bit of recognition. We reminisce about his early days skateboarding in New Jersey and how he partly discovered his passion for music through playing the video game Guitar Hero.
Nico also gives us a sneak peek into the upcoming Title Fight cover show he’ll be performing at The Warehouse. We discuss the current music industry trend of releasing three singles in advance of an LP and share our thoughts on its impact. Nico reveals the sounds we can expect from the next PEÑA album, and we wrap up with a fun round of Bedroom Banter, where he shares who his favorite Bay Area musicians are. Big shout outs to Nico for coming onto the pod. Welcome to the BEDROOM™, y’all! WORLD WIDE PEACE!” - PSG
