Ep 83: Nick Hakim has your gear on long-term loan
Notes de l’épisode
Nick Hakim is a songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist who Lianne La Havas has called “one of the greatest musical minds ever.”
Combining R&B, soul, indie and psychedelia, he’s released a string of remarkable records and collaborated with major acts including Erykah Badu, Anderson Paak, and Mac DeMarco.
We caught up with him in July, in the run-up to his latest album ‘I Can See,’ to talk about the inevitability of him becoming an artist, how music therapy influences his practice, and how the Forever Studio selection process evokes the limited nature of his album-making process.
In this episode, hear from Nick Hakim how a school strike led him to one of his mentors, how a favourite record growing up inspired one of his forever studio selections, and why he’d want to build his dream studio far from his current home in New York.
Season 8 of the My Forever Studio Podcast is supported by Audient, and the incredible new Horizon range of audio interfaces.
