MEET THE BAND
Alicia Lazaro Arteaga
For me Alicia is, in many ways, a dream collaborator. In addition to being an extraordinary vocalist, she’s also a trained classical pianist and a composer who’s work I admire greatly. The possibilities of artistic expression that Alicia has brought to this band has allowed me to go to completely new places when composing this music.
As a vocalist Alicia possesses a raw emotional power which is balanced by a supreme control over her instrument, resulting in a sound that is both deeply moving and highly versatile.
Mischa Grind
After having travelled the world and studied a wide range of drumming traditions, Mischa has created a sound that is uniquely his own. Being influenced by pop, jazz, and world music, Mischa has brought something very fresh and exciting to this album!
Another joy for me has been Mischa’s minute attention to detail and the care he puts in every decision. He really is an orchestrator of sound just as much as he is a percussionist and a drummer, always working to strengthen the inner drama of the music.
Jonas Nilsson
As a bass player, Jonas brings a raw punk energy combined with a virtuosic technique and an endless curiosity for new forms of expression.
When Jonas joined the band it was like something clicked and the energy of the band was bumped up two levels. Jonas just brings this intensity and heart to everything that he’s playing, making everyone perform even better.
Jonas is also the rare bass player that can move effortlessly between classical, jazz, and rock music, creating a range of expression not heard in many other players.
