ABOUT ME
NL - Bickel is een vierentwintigjarige artiest & songwriter uit Amsterdam. In zijn rauwe en sfeervolle muziek, staan zijn teksten centraal, waarmee hij met zijn filosofieën, zijn humor en zijn kijk op de wereld, meeslepende verhalen schetst. Bickel haalt zijn invloeden uit vele bronnen, van jaren 60-80 rock tot modernere indie pop, jazz & electronische muziek. Hij creëert hiermee een mooi balans tussen het natuurlijke en folk-achtige gevoel van akoustische gitaren & percussie en de buitenwereldse krachten van digitale synthesizers, kleurrijke effecten en drumcomputers. De inspiraties van Bickel zijn divers maar de grootste spelers hierin zijn; The Beatles, Jack Johnson en Paulo Nuetini, voor hun menselijke en universele schrijfstijl en MGMT, Tame Impala, Pink Floyd en Arctic Monkeys voor de manieren waarmee zij nieuwe, figuurlijke werelden weten in te kleuren.
