Aaron spoke with Anickan about his work as an artist, producer, and filmmaker. Aaron asks about Anickan becoming an artist, and his latest album 'Interstellar Love Story' which released on January 22nd 2023. An awakening of the hybrid breed of artist is among us. As a Multi-Hyphenate Recording Artist, Producer, Professional Street Dancer, & Award Winning Independent Film Maker, Anickan is undeniably a fresh new force. From his initial rise in the sunny valley of Phoenix, AZ to his now ascending reach, Anickan’s journey is dedicated to his elaborate and critical artistic introspection, which he uses as a power tool to interconnect art and human experience. Confessional raps, entrancing melodies, filmic 808’s, and spacey distorted electro reflect Anickan’s off-kilter sonic vision. These tonal attributes, his passion for film, and aptitude for innovation deem Anickan’s sound somewhat of a musical cinematic experience. The Essence and familiarity of artists such as Kanye West, Kid Cudi, Travis Scott, Childish Gambino and 070 Shake can be encountered within Anickan’s compositions. After his 2020 debut album “SPRPWR” which landed him collaborations with independent powerhouses such as Futuristic, Chris Rivers, Oswin Benjamin, and more, Anickan is scheduled for release of his upcoming album ‘INTERSTELLAR LOVE STORY’ January 22nd, 2023. Listen to Interstellar Love Story: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzNHnTRbK5-z9JE3MK5WqzrZs5SMArzSQSend us a textSupport the shownuancedmedia.ca
