Description
Who is Nemo? He`s the result of a childhood in Venice (Italy), then a move to Paris, ten years of music school in London and many trips and long journeys all around the world. In his first band at 16 and with a consummate passion for writing Nemo has become a true citizen of the earth. He `s a child of "Genre fusion" one can't label nor file him in any precise type of music. An ounce of Rubadub, a zest of DanceHall, a little bit of P-funk, a drop of R'n'B, a slight taste of HipHop ...sort of a musical Molotov cocktail! A first, a second and a third band...then the harsh reality of French Underground and the will to exist forced him to go to Jamaica in 2000! Working with sound systems, appearing in stage shows, talent shows (JCDC & Suzie Q), making dubplates in studios, radio (Irie FM) and TV (FIWI TV & Reggae Sun), Nemo worked them all. In 2003 Producer Pelican (Ball `o' Fire Music ) gives him his first Jamaican 45 ... then others started to follow , Paul Barclay , Acoustic Vibes...
February 2004 in Kingston , Nemo is singing in the street and Jah Thomas stops him asking to be the one to release the tune he was chatting, he ends up recording an album with the Roots Radics, a life time chance he had never imagined in his wildest dreams, recording with his favorite band!
Nemo has also recorded an original Aggrovators, `Stick By Me', a duet with Beenie Man, and while appearing on a TV talent show (Rooftop Ochie) Ninja Man comes on stage grabs the mike out of his hands to big him up and tell the crowd he had never seen a whitey get 3 forward in a row! Jamaica has not only adopted Nemo, Jamaica has also given him a brand new name at the Easter Fest, Cross-Breed, calling him back 4 times on stage!
You are amongst the first to hear and enjoy Nemo on his debut CD Cross-Breed.
The artists he likes to mention all the time are: Garnett Silk, George Clinton, Prince, Brel, Serge Gainsbourg, Snoop, Bowie , Natedog, Bjork, Sly Stone,Tiger, Barrington Levi, Jeff Buckley, Pharcyde, Miss Dynamite, Adriano Celentano, Janis Joplin, les Rita Mitsouko, Oxmo Puccino, Pinchers, Bohannon...
