CASTxOFF Podcast 03: NICOSHI (@nic0shi)Born and raised in Argentina, NICOSHI now calls Los Angeles home. He started his relationship with music in childhood, when his father encouraged him to take piano and guitar lessons. Throughout his adult life he continued working on music but never felt sharing it with others. It all changed many years ago, when he ended up staying at a friend's house while traveling around the world. That friend showed him how to mix and do his own production.NICOSHI truly believes the power of music doesn’t have boundaries and connects people. It fulfills the souls, creates emotions and takes us on the journey. Follow NICOSHI:Instagram: www.instagram.com/nic0shiSoundcloud: www.soundcloud.com/nic0shiFollow CASTxOFF:Instagram: www.instagram.com/castxoff.laFacebook: www.facebook.com/castxoff.laSoundcloud: www.soundcloud.com/castxoff_laPrepare for departure ⚓️
