About Me |

The uncut version of my love: It first happened at the conservatory of a regional capital in North-Western France. I was six and it was with a piano. It didn’t last long, but we all grow and develop and I am no exception. I was fifteen when I realised that there is more to life. At the time, “more” meant: chewing gum, walkman and boys. After listening to New Order’s Substance and Loveless by My Bloody Valentine (two albums that are emblematic of my emotional life at the time), I did what I had to do. I ended my affair with classical music* and joined a band. I played the bass and started singing “ethereal melodies”. With my coming of age came my first keyboard and a move to Amsterdam, then voice & music production studies at the Rotterdams conservatory. It was with the boys from Le Clic that I had my first gigs at the Melkweg and the Paradiso. At the same time, I would always work on my own stuff at Laboratoires Leece, eventually leading to my first solo tour starting at the ‘Feria de Musica’ in Fortaleza, Brazil. Ever since, I’ve been fortunate to play regularly also a little closer to home (not that I mind travelling), at a variety of venues and festivals in and around Amsterdam (Paradiso, Sugary Factory, Queens Night Twistd stage, Over het Ij Festival 2006, Droom Festival 2006, Pickup Festival 2006).After Amsterdam came Berlin (“Wer A sagt, muss auch B sagen” as the Germans like to say), film music study, gigs around town (Lovelite, White Trash), a tour of Italy, 4 months playing in China and the final production of my first album that, as the phrase goes, I’m giving the finishing touch in Berlin. Besides, I started last year to work with young directors in Berlin and wrote music for a few short movies, such as 'Scherben im Zucker' by Juan Sarmiento, 'Postcard aus Rom' & 'In deiner Haut' directed by Pola Schirin Beck, which has been selected for the Berlinale 2008. What is this love about? My music is a collection of experiments in sounds and emotions as far as i can remember them. – so lots of clicks and cuts, fairy & funny little things & broken hearted melodies. It’s about flirtations with minimal synth-pop. It’s about glitchiness, quirkiness, sexiness. It’s about working with sound texture – sculpting sounds from water drops, breathings and corn flake crunches and turning them into something that has been described as “visceral, funky and explosive, oscillating between deep emotion and light-hearted humour, both musically and lyrically,” Well – yes… and it’s about the crowd spontaneously singing along to “No Boyfriend Material”, & getting continuous support from people singing, dreaming & dancing to my songs, around the world, children & all. That’s what it’s all about. *(but we have been best friends since) Please visit my personal website for more info & full bio //Releases: -'On top of the world', Ninca Leece, appears on 'Piatto forte compilation' (duplikat records) coming out soon //Soundtracks: -'In deiner Haut' 2008 directed by Pola Schirin Beck, selected for the Berlinale 2008 -'Postcard aus Rom' 2007 by Pola Schirin Beck -'Scherben im Zucker' 2007 directed by Juan Sarmiento Jamsessions: il gioco Add to My Profile | More Videos ::ninca leece:: plays Jamsessions on Nintendo DS at Switch Out Firenze 2007 ::aseptique:: ninca leece video: anna gonzalez suero copyright © 2007 anna gonzalez suero, all rights reserved LIVE-set at: -103Club, BERLIN -Supperclub, AMSTERDAM -Die remise, BERLIN -FagU @Nolla, HELSINKI -mbar, HELSINKI -Zenzero club, BARI -Festival della creatività with metùo and Blanche, FIRENZE -Club MAO, SHANGHAI -Yugong Yishan, BEIJING -China Doll, BEIJING -Club Centro, BEIJING -White trash, BERLIN -Dr Pong, BERLIN -Wilhelmina pakhuis, AMSTERDAM -T-Une, MILANO -Yeti, ROMA -Collatino underground, ROMA -Lettere cafe, ROMA -Cox18, MILANO -United Club, TORINO -Slomo, BERLIN -Lovelite, BERLIN -Electric friends, BERLIN -Pick-up party, STUBNITZ, AMSTERDAM -Pick-up festival, Paradiso, AMSTERDAM -Blijburg droom festival, AMSTERDAM -Over het ij festival, AMSTERDAM -Moskow disco, Sugar Factory, AMSTERDAM -Magic, Sugar Factory, AMSTERDAM -Queensnight, Vaaghuyzen, AMSTERDAM -Twstd qsnght, AMSTERDAM -De Cantine, AMSTERDAM -O terraçao, Fortaleza BRAZIL -Feiria de musica, Fortaleza BRAZIL -Me gusta, Winston, AMSTERDAM |
