Nicole DeRosa

BIO: Nicole DeRosa has been writing + interviewing musicians & bands at AllAccess.com since February 2012. She is now a Freelance Writer, Interviewer and Host at various outlets around the world.  She loves the infectious energy and enthusiasm of the music industry and she feels right at home having music compliment her every day. Nicole blends her experience and skills which she has culled from her time working in New York as a photo researcher and editor at Entertainment Weekly and Harpers Bazaar Magazine. After New York, Nicole moved to London for school and there she stood in line for hours on Oxford Street to hear Paul McCartney play an impromptu concert on a rooftop. Another notable experience while living in London was her first time ever calling into a radio station, she won an invite to a record release party with the Beastie Boys for their album 'Ill Communication'. "I love London as it has such a vibrant and diverse music scene and I couldn't help but go out every night to check out gig after gig. It was a wonderful time." Living near the notable Sherpards Bush Empire music venue one of her most favorite concerts to date was seeing Bjork. Nicole has also worked for Walt Disney World in Product Development and later went on to work at Disney's Feature Animation Archives in Florida. Nicole has a passion for travel and adventure and has always wanted to live in California so she packed up and moved four years ago to the "left coast" and has been loving it ever since.

Loved chatting with #NahkoBear 🐻 of #NahkoAndMedicineForThePeople for AllAccess .com about new 💿 album #HOKA ⚡️ #LightningInABottle 🍾 💃🏼 and everything in between! Peep my chat with Nahko via the ✨Link In My Bio ✨ and enjoy! _______________________________________________Background ~ Some people go a lifetime without knowing their mission in life, without feeling they have true calling, and without knowing why they even do what they do. #Nahko is not one of them. And that calling and mission has never been clearer than it is on Nahko and Medicine for the People’s third full ­length album, HOKA #SideOneDummyRecords On HOKA, Nahko’s voice is strong. His mission is clear. The mandate has been thrown down. “I want to challenge myself and others to make a change.” “Hoka,” which is the intro to the first track, “Directions,” is one of the album’s many song intros used as a way to round out the storytelling on the tracks. “On this intro, my uncles are chanting the lyrics to ‘Directions’ in #Lakota, and the three female voices include a clairvoyant, an astrologer, and a friend who all had important messages for me that are a big part of my story,” he explains.

I had the pleasure of catching up with the 🎸 #TheShelters 🎸 who chat with me about working with one of their musical heroes, #TOMPETTY who co-produced The Shelters’ debut full-length record, to be released coming up on June 10th via #WarnerBrosRecords Enjoy my chat with #Topanga Canyon neighbors, THE SHELTERS here or via the Bitly link or ✨Link In My Bio ✨ _______________________________________________Background ~ THE SHELTERS united in #LosAngeles in 2014, a band of young men inspired by a shared love of #rocknroll and the glorious city they call home. They set out writing songs, starting with little more than determination but soon conjuring up a fresh and unified sound. #ChaseSimpson was born and raised in Los Angeles. Hungry to meet his musical kindred spirits, he would find them in #JoshJove and #SebastianHarris Josh grew up in #Florida and eventually came to LA, spending years navigating life as a working musician. Sebastian comes from #TopangaCanyon #California and played in his fair share of bands before finding an profound connection jamming with Chase and Josh. #JacobPillot also a native Angeleno, eventually joined the band to round out the lineup on bass.
