What’s your name then? Oh. And the name of your band…
My name is Nicholas Costello, I also go by this on stage.
And what do you do?
I’m a solo artist who writes contemporary folk music that’s influenced by several other genres.
Why did you start doing that?
I’ve always loved music, and the process of songwriting always seemed magical to me as a kid, so that was the main inspiration behind trying it out. Music’s mysterious and magical pull has never really let me go.
Do you think you’re good at doing that?
I feel like I’m getting there, I am definitely feeling connected with what I’m currently writing.
What makes you happiest about what you’re doing?
The songwriting process and the live performance aspect makes me happy. There are other interesting aspects, but I think they’d be the two that give me the most joy.
And what makes you unhappiest about what you’re doing?
Not a great deal makes me unhappy about music. I can get frustrated with myself when I stuff up, but that’s about it.
What’s your proudest moment of doing what you do?
Very recently, when I finished recording my brand new EP, GLOW. I am incredibly happy with how it has turned out.
Catch NICHOLAS COSTELLO at The Workers Club on Sunday April 12.
