Bring out the sunshine is the current release from multitalented artiste Nick Nook. Through an ear-catching guitar and a nostalgic rock composition, the single delivers a refreshing take on indie rock.
The song Bring Out The Sunshine blends the 70s vibe with a touch of modern indie vibe. “Bring Out The Sunshine” is the second single to be released from Nick Noon’s forthcoming EP’A Jejune Affair’ which is expected to be released in January.
Listeners will be taken on a sonic journey by Nick Nook’s message-heavy, upbeat lyrics that will make people appreciate life a little bit more. This particular song demonstrates that there is no doubt that he is an artist to watch because of the significance and originality of the lyrics in his releases..
The industry puts the majority of its resources behind vapid trash music because it’s what makes the most money. I understand it’s a business, but there should be more of a balance between the trash and art.
These were some of the thoughts Nick Noon shared in a recent interview with Mister Styx of Musicarenagh, more of these were shared during the interview

What is your stage name:
My name is Nick Noon
Is there a story behind your stage name?
No story. Just my name.
Where do you find inspiration?
The inspiration finds me usually and when it does, I do my best to channel it.
What was the role of music in the early years of your life?
Music was always around growing up. Mostly it was music from the 60’s being played in the car or in the house. In high school, I would line the sleeve of my coat with headphones and listen to Outkast or Bone Thugs & Harmony in class instead of the teacher.
As a kid, I would tinker on an old upright piano we had sitting in the corner, but never thought about music as anything other than something other people did until I was around 19 years old.
Are you from a musical or artistic family?
My mom was a singer and my dad was a huge fan of music, but no one played instruments. My family loved listening to music and learning the history of it, but other than my mom singing around the house, there was no one around me playing music.
Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry?
I’m not interested in being a part of some monolithic industry. I am interested in getting the music I hear in my head out and hopefully those who hear it enjoy it enough to give me money.
How did you learn to sing/write/to play?
I saved up money from a job I was working and bought a guitar without having any clue how to play the first chord and slowly started teaching myself.
Within the first week, I naturally just started writing, which is something that had never occurred to me to do. Songs just came out of me without really trying. It’s what came easy.
Even though I play a lot of the instruments on my songs, I still don’t consider myself much of a musician, especially compared to players here in Nashville, but I manage.
What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform?
It was one of those radio station sponsored music festivals at Oak Mountain Amphitheatre in Birmingham, Alabama. I went with a group of friends and don’t even remember who was on the bill. Obviously, none of the bands I saw left much of an impression on me if I don’t even remember them, but I do remember thinking the environment and crowds of people were brilliant. One concert that made an impact on me though was Blur.
How could you describe your music?
Great.
Describe your creative process.
I sit down with an acoustic guitar and play until a new song exists. The last song on the upcoming EP, I actually wrote on piano, but 98% of the time, I write on acoustic guitar
What is your main inspiration?
God. Life. Music.
What musician do you admire most and why?
It’s a combination of a few: Brian Wilson, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Noel Gallagher, and Damon Albarn are the first names that come to mind, but there are others. I’m a fan because their songs are better than other people’s songs.
Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career?
I would say it has matured and probably become more lush.
Who do you see as your main competitor?
Myself and The Beatles.
What are your interests outside of music?
I dabble in graphic design, watch Alabama Football, and quite enjoy the Kill Tony podcast.
If it wasn’t a music career, what would you be doing?
Graphic design.
What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music?
Where to start? Myself. Others. Time. Money.
If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be?
The industry puts the majority of its resources behind vapid trash music because it’s what makes the most money. I understand it’s a business, but there should be more of a balance between the trash and art.
Why did you choose this as the title of this project?
I saw the phrase on a sign and I thought it must be a sign.
What are your plans for the coming months?
I am about to release the ‘A Jejune Affair’ EP in January and then begin work on my debut full length album. The songs are written. I just have to get them recorded.
Do you have any artistic collaboration plans?
Stay tuned to find out.
What message would you like to give to your fans?
Thank you for listening and for being smarter than Lil Nas X’s fans. There’s more music coming.
