@@theasaparkpod I already have shared this, and will certainly continue to share it 👍
Also, other guests on your podcast could possibly be Aron Mellergård, Henrik Linder ;) Anomalie or Louis Cole. And Jacob Collier ✌️✌️✌️
Jack Gardiner, who has played with Henrik, and also recently with Dirty Loops, would be another great idea, I reckon…
Kolla vad Aron Mellergård håller på med. Helt lysande med full orkester.
So this is what I think of Jonah Nilsson and all that I know him for, so far: an absolutely mindblowing creator when it comes to anything music! Just mindblowing….
But for me, to listen to his voice is just the most touching, transporting and mindblowing thing.
The emotions, the colours, the nuances….Sheesh I don’t have enough words to describe what his voice can make me feel like.
Just saying, cause he’s not quite sure of what people think of him.
Sure, his piano playing is out of this world!
I listen to both Loopified CDs as well as Phoenix in my car, driving every day, and his piano playing 😱🧡🔥 man…..
But his voice gets me even more. All the nuances. He bares his soul when he sings, and that depth of soul and emotion is a beautiful thing to witness 💛
So it was heartening to hear that he now sees himself as more of a singer than he did a while ago. Growing into it, in a way.
Fascinating interview, great questions and answers.
Thanks to both of you 🙏🙏
Oh and that Quincy Jones quote is so good ☺️
As is the beautifully painted ceiling behind Jonah…
Thank you for this!!
I have been in love with Jonah Nilsson for 15 years! 😍 Brilliant musician, beautiful man and a genuinely kind person. Thanks for this great interview! Flying from the USA to London just to see Dirty Loops (again) in March. Can't wait!
My only wish... is that I would have heard of Dirty Loops sooner than I did. So much talent with no guile. Loved seeing them in Seattle last year and hoping to see them again soon!
Jonah has such a wonderful personality. Awesome creator and human being.
Thanks for a great interview.
Thank you!!
This was amazing!
Thanks!
Great interview! You are absolutely right - the music industry needs to stop making everything sound the same. The best music comes from the heart of people doing their own thing. And what makes Dirty Loops great in my opinion is that it started as a "play-ground" for those three amazing musicians just doing what they felt like instead of thinking about what the main stream listeners would buy. And as a Dane I'm so envious of your free music education in Sweden. The music classes in danish public schools have suffered a lot over the last decades. We do have music schools where you only pay a part of the tuition fee but it's still quite expensive - and we didn't have one where I grew up. I don't come from a family of musicians so I didn't get any real music tuition before I was 15 years old (when I finally found a way). I ended up teaching in a couple of music schools for many years though and still have a few private students because I feel all kids should have the opportunity to play/sing learn about music.
So true!
Great comment, and thanks for telling your story, Ellen 👍
Also great that you’ve forged a path in music for yourself regardless. That’s awesome!
I teach as well, apart from playing, and it’s such a great journey, hey?
And for me, whether they want to or not, Dirty Loops are THE BEST teachers 😉☺️👍
Fantastic interview! Deep and insightful. Subscribed
Thank you!! Appreciate it.
1:00:54 Don't forget we have Owane, who has collaborated with Henrik Linder!
There have been lots of great jazz musicians to come out of Norway too, like Jan Garbarek, who played with the likes of Keith Jarrett. One of my favorites, though, is Lage Lund. He's recognized as one of the leading modern jazz guitarists.
Also, a recent discovery of mine was Hedda Mae, in particular with the songs 'Time is now' and 'Carry On'.
Owane is incredible. One of my favorites.
👋🇸🇪
Thanks for this! You're so right.
Please don't take me wrong about what I'm going to say but There are two kinds of interviews, the ones with those that have struggled (interesting)...and this, where in reality kids don't learn anything since everything is just a constant "well, I don't know how I did it. It all just came about spontaneously and naturally"... So kids think: "I'm screwed"
I mean would you rather him lie about what went on during their creative process? Others could lie and say they struggled even if they didn’t, these guys are just honest and say well it just happened lol what else can we say? That’s the truth lol
