Nik West Biography

For someone who once considered playing bass an occasional hobby, Nik West has found considerable fame as the go-to low-frequency funkster for some serious musical royalty – and still finds time for her busy solo career.

Nik West is a solo recording artist, bassist, and producer. She has worked with Prince, Glee, Quincy Jones, and Dave Stewart (Eurythmics). She also works with ESPN, Disney, and others as a music composer.

Nik came from a musical family in Phoenix, Arizona. Her Father taught her to play the guitar as a teenager, her sisters were her first band mates and she has an older brother with whom she still makes music. It was through listening to Michael Jackson’s music that Nik became interested in putting down the guitar and picking up a bass, a switch which was to set her on a path towards the higher echelons of the music business – not that she planned things that way…

“I got into the music industry completely by accident. I played bass as a ‘sometimey’ hobby. Something to do when I was completely bored.”

It was 2009, and Nik’s first cover video, playing a ‘super simple bassline’ from Jill Scott’s song The Way that opened the first significant door for the young bassist and singer, with guitar giants Fender noticing her performance and giving Nik her first endorsement. This, in turn, helped bring her to the attention of some of the biggest names in the industry.

“Dave Stewart heard about me as he wanted a young new bass player and contacted me. At that point, I decided I would actually practice lol!!! I knew only a couple songs (but the ones I knew, I killed em...)”

There followed the aforementioned collaborations with Prince, Glee and Quincy Jones plus jams and accompaniments with a variety of top artists such as John Mayer, Marcus Miller among others.

Nik’s equipment list is minimalist; in addition to her Fender bass and preamp she uses Logic and occasionally Garageband to record, through an M-Audio interface, and she recently discovered the Aston Spirit condenser, now her mic of choice for her lead vocals.

“This mic is super easy to use. I travel most of the year and I’m most concerned with quality of my vocals and portability. I love that the pop filter is built in because that is one less thing I have to pack with me.”

She also as an Aston halo reflection filter (or ‘purple mic cave’ as Nik calls it) to tame any unfriendly room acoustics.

In addition to high profile collaborations, Nik has a busy solo career in her own right with a new album due out soon, plus a series of live shows in Germany, Switzerland, Israel and United Arab Emirates to see out the year. She has also recently completed a Bass Sample pack for Splice called Booty Grooves. The pack also included some vocal samples, recoded by Nik on the Spirit mic which, she told us; “came out great!”

So great that Nik switched to using the Spirit on lead vocals while recording her forthcoming album, Catch Me If You Can, which is due for release Spring 2019:

“ I have actually gone back and re-recorded some of the lead vocals because this mic sounds so much better than the mics we recorded with in pricey studios.”

“I sing all styles of music, and generally, I use different mics based off of what I’m singing. But my voice seems to love the way this mic sounds. It picks up all of my nuances and IT DOESN’T COLOR MY VOCALS (I find that many mics color my tone!) I want my own real tone to shine through and that’s what this mic does.”

Clearly Nik doesn’t like a pile of gear getting in the way of the important stuff - making her music - so it’s all about keeping it as simple as possible, finding equipment that works for her and sticking with it. “I use the Spirit for main vocals and background vocals. It’s very simple for me. The crazy thing is, sometimes I use it just with a simple interface and no real preamp (don’t hold it against me) and it still sounds amazing!”

As if phenomenal ability as a bassist and vocalist were not enough, Nik West also possesses a scintillating stage presence and her mesmerising, uber-photogenic image is something celebrity, fashion and lifestyle magazines have picked up on - she has appeared on the covers of many - but she also manages to remain a bassist’s bassist. The world’s specialist bass publications have also queued up for photoshoots, while her relationship with Fender saw her involved in the development of their most significant new bass range for many years, the Dimension.

We are proud Nik has chosen to work with Aston mics and can’t wait to hear the new album when it’s released next Spring. Welcome to the family!

Q. If you weren’t working in music what would you be doing? A. I’d be a math teacher. I went to school for engineering and used to tutor calculus in high school. That was always fun.

Q. What would your fantasy mic be? A pocket sized studio mic that has a pop filter built in, that needs no mic stand, and that can stick on anything... anywhere.

Q. What are the 4 words you’d chose to describe Aston, or your experience with the brand? A. Dynamite,  Present,  Quality,  Easy.

Q. What was the first song that made you cry? A. Amazing Grace. I was very very young. I don’t know exactly why it made me cry but it did. It’s very spiritual.

Interview With K3 Sisters Band

Most rock and pop devotees know the individual names, likenesses, and other “intimate” details of their beloved ensembles.

And even in those instances, the enigmatic lead singer and swaggering lead guitarist garner the most consideration in the public eye. Aspiring drummers, keyboardists, and bassists will naturally gravitate to their said instrumentalists. Civilians could care less.   

GP: Whoa, what is that? It looks like some sort of psychedelic Ampeg bass!  

NFAA TOM: We were mutual fans of each other’s websites – David has the Bass Guitar Channel , and I host the website and video series Know Your Bass Player . Of course, even under the banner of Notes From An Artist – we do favor bassists. Our guests include Bill Wyman who has been on the show twice, we’ve had Ron Carter on a few times. Rudy Sarzo (Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake, Quite Riot), Gerry McAvoy from Rory Gallagher, Benny Rietveld from Santana and Miles Davis, Jim Fielder from Blood Sweat & Tears, Harvey Brooks (Bob Dylan, Miles Davis)…

NFAA TOM: Yes, you shared many a gig with Levin. 

As for the Rickenbacker – I just can’t really play it. But they make me play great for this gig because I kind of need to have one hand tied behind my back. And I have to play with a pick – so there’s no danger of me getting funky anywhere! 

GP: Oh totally! If you discovered rock and roll at that point like I did, it made an impact. But the stuff I loved were the bands that survived. I loved The Who – Pete stayed totally cool throughout punk – no one was going to touch Pete! Twelve years before punk, Pete was smashing guitars on stage. No one was ever going to do anything as punk rock as that!

(Pratt in Madonna mode) ‘You, dummy!!!!!’

It’s good to have these invented laws. Now, there is kind of no point! If you want an album to be 400 songs, it can. That’s why I find it interesting – that amongst a lot of the kids – their preferred format is the EP. Four songs. It’s not the tradition of ‘extended play.’ It’s four songs. 

GP: Right! So let’s go back to the Chapman Stick – which was everywhere in the 1980s. Alphonso Johnson, Tony Levin…and I was thinking ‘Oh my God I’m going to have to learn this thing…’ So I nearly bought one. And I thought I just did those four years in my bedroom; I don’t know if I could go back and do them again. Because that’s what it would take. Then I realized – especially Tony – that he’s only playing two strings on it!

She sports a colorful mohawk shaped like a bass clef. Explosive stage presence isn't enough to describe the way Nik West moves, wows, and shocks crowds everywhere. "She is a real life gumby on stage, all while singing, dancing, and slapping the hell out of her bass guitar!" With credits that include work for artists such as, Dave Stewart of Eurythmics fame, Prince, Glee, and more, bassist, singer, and songwriter Nik West is anything more than just another pretty face. Noted music journalist Alex Henderson (Billboard) sums West’s incredible talent up saying “Nik West is one 21st Century artist who isn’t lacking in the chops department. She is a young electric bassist who clearly knows her way around her instrument and plays like she has been inspired by the funky likes of Larry Graham, Louis Johnson (of Brothers Johnson fame) and Marcus Miller." “Nik West is definitely bringing back the funk groovement and I love everything about what she stands for!”-Bootsy Collins

Walking Tour: Kitai Gorod

Kitai Gorod, with its twisting and winding streets, is the oldest section of Moscow outside the Kremlin. The literal translation of Kitai Gorod is "Chinatown," but there has never been a Chinese settlement here. The origin of the word kitai is disputed; it may come from the Tatar word for fortress, but most likely it derives from the Russian word kita, in reference to the bundles of twigs that were used to reinforce the earthen wall that once surrounded the area.

Kitai Gorod begins where Red Square ends. Settlement of this area began in the 12th century, around the time that the fortified city of Moscow was founded on Borovitsky Hill (the site of the present-day Kremlin). By the 14th century Kitai Gorod was a thriving trade district, full of shops and markets. At that time it was surrounded by earthen ramparts, which were replaced in the 16th century by a fortified wall, remnants of which still remain. As Moscow grew, so did Kitai Gorod.

At the time of the Bolshevik Revolution it was the city's most important financial and commercial district, with major banks, warehouses, and trading companies concentrated here. These days the multitude of shops, restaurants, and banks demonstrates the area's reasserted role as an energized commercial center.

A good starting point for your tour is Nikolskaya ulitsa, which begins at the corner opposite the Historical Museum and runs along the north side of GUM. If you are coming from St. Basil's, walk away from St. Basil's toward the Historical Museum alongside GUM. If you are coming from outside of Red Square, get to Nikolskaya by way of Teatralnaya Ploshchad (Theater Square). If you are standing with your back to the Bolshoi on this square, walk straight ahead, cross the street, and enter one of the narrow passageways to the right or left of the Teatralnaya metro station (as you are facing it). Taking a right out of either passageway will bring you to Nikolskaya ulitsa. Go a short way farther to the right, to the cobblestone edge of Red Square, to begin your walk.

Nikolskaya ulitsa, which is named after the Kremlin's Nikolskaya Gate Tower, is one of the oldest streets in Moscow. At the corner with Red Square is the Kazansky Sobor . Leaving the church, take a left to make your way through the teeming crowds of shoppers on Nikolskaya ulitsa to No. 7, the Zaikonospassky Monastyr , the former Slavonic-Greco-Latin Academy now undergoing a slow restoration. Farther down the street, also on the left-hand side, is a once brightly painted white-and-aqua building with an elaborate facade (No. 15). The building was erected in 1810-14 on the site of the 16th-century Pechatny Dvor (Printing Yard), where Russia's first printed book was assembled in 1553. Today the building houses the Moscow Institute of Historical Records and the Moscow Humanitarian University. Cross the street to go down Bogoyavlensky pereulok. Halfway down the block, opposite the entrance to the Ploshchad Revolutsii metro, is the Bogoyavlensky Sobor . Continue down the street to where it intersects with ulitsa Ilinka. Before the 1917 revolution this was Moscow's Wall Street, and it is still lined with the impressive facades of former banks.

On the left-hand corner stands the former Ryabushinsky Bank . As you cross the street, look to your right; ulitsa Ilinka leads directly to the Kremlin's Tower of the Savior. At No. 3 stands the Tserkov Svyatoi Ilii church from which the street takes its name. The church, which dates to 1520, is in disrepair except for its facade. Opposite the church is one of the border streets of the Gostinny Dvor merchant's arcade. Turn left and walk the length of Khrustalny pereulok to reach one of the oldest streets in Moscow, Varvarka ulitsa. The opposite side of the street is lined with quaint old churches and buildings, but the first thing you'll likely notice is the gray bulk of the massive, concrete-and-glass Rossiya, one of Europe's largest and most unattractive hotels.

At the farthest corner of the street, to your right, is the Tserkov Velikomuchenitsy Varvary . Adjacent is the English Court . Next comes the white-stone Tserkov Maksima Blazhennovo . The pointed bell tower situated just before the semicircle sidewalk leading to the upper-level entrance of the Rossiya hotel was once attached to the redbrick Znamensky Sobor on the other side of the sidewalk; with its foundation on the slope below, it is set back from the street. At No. 10 is the Palaty Romanovych v Zaryadye , believed to be the birthplace of Tsar Mikhail Romanov. Before leaving Varvarka ulitsa take note of the last church, the blue Tserkov Georgiya na Pskovskoy Gorke at No. 12.

If you stand to the left of the church (on the walkway leading to the Rossiya hotel) you can glimpse a remnant of Kitai Gorod's 16th-century brick fortification wall. It is to your left, opposite the hotel's eastern facade. Cross to the other side of Varvarka ulitsa and walk a short hop past the final church. Make a right and climb up the narrow Ipatevsky pereulok, which leads to several government and administrative buildings. At the top of the incline to the right is one of Moscow's best-preserved 17th-century churches, the Tserkov Troitsy v Nikitnikach .

Continue down the lane to the right of the church to reach Novaya Ploshchad, or New Square, which is more like a boulevard than a square. To your right, at the far bottom of the hill, Slavyanskaya Ploshchad opens up. At the bottom of the hill is the redbrick Tserkov Vsekh Svyatykh na Kulishkakh . From Novaya Ploshchad stroll for a long block or two past the government buildings, where the Central Committee of the Communist Party once sat. Now these buildings house the Duma of the Moscow Region. Soon you will come to the beginning of a busy intersection. To your right, in the median strip that divides Novaya Ploshchad, is a park that holds the Plevna Memorial, an octagonal, towerlike monument commemorating the Russian soldiers who fell in the Battle of Plevna in the Russo-Turkish War (1878). Keep walking up the street on the left side to go to the Muzey Istorii Goroda Moskvy , a small museum on Moscow's history.

Note the building on the opposite side of the street that takes up the entire block. This is the Politekhnichesky Muzey , a museum of science and technology. Directly north of this museum is yet another museum, Muzey Mayakovskovo , which includes a re-creation of the study of the great revolutionary poet. A short distance from here, Novaya Ploshchad intersects with the circular Lubyanskaya Ploshchad , where you can behold the Lubyanka Prison and the former KGB headquarters, which now house the FSB -- the New Russia's federal security service. On the west side of the square is Detsky Mir, a large department store that used to specialize in toys but now carries all sorts of items.

Walk past Lubyanskaya Ploshchad to the west side, down to where it converges with the broad street of Teatralny proyezd, Moscow's most elite shopping street. On a side street to your right stands the ornate and luxurious Savoy hotel (3 Rozhdestvenka ulitsa), which, like the nearby Metropol hotel, was built in connection with the celebrations in the early 20th century honoring 300 years of the Romanov dynasty. On the left-hand side of the street you will pass a statue of Ivan Fyodorov, the printer who produced Russia's first book at the old Printing Yard on Nikolskaya ulitsa. The arched gateway just to the right of the statue links Teatralny proyezd with Nikolskaya ulitsa, the street on which you started the tour. Teatralny proyezd leads into Teatralnaya Ploshchad, site of three of Moscow's most important theaters.

Taking up the block on the southeast corner, the first building you will encounter to your left as you approach Teatralnaya Ploshchad is the Metropol , an art nouveau hotel. Reaching the square, you will see at the center a large monument to Karl Marx, carved on the spot from a 200-ton block of granite and unveiled in 1961. Across the boulevard stands the Bolshoi Theater , flanked on the left, on the corner farthest away from you, by the Central Children's Theater, and, to the right, by the Maly Theater . Turn left at the corner of the Metropol, and walk by the park and the hotel's main entrance. The large redbrick wall ahead is the other surviving remnant of the 16th-century fortification wall that once surrounded Kitai Gorod.

The wall has been heavily rebuilt, and a new tower has been added. Inside the tower are a couple of restaurants and bars. When you reach the Teatralnaya/Ploshchad Revolutsii metro station, take a moment to admire the exterior of the massive redbrick building on the corner -- the Muzey V. I. Lenina . If you still have some time but not much energy, consider hopping on Trolleybus 2, which can be caught at the bus stop opposite the Bolshoi Theater. The trolley ride takes about 45 minutes and makes a loop passing by Lubyanskaya Ploshchad, Ploshchad Pobedi (Victory Square -- note the obelisk topped by an angel), the Borodino Battle Panorama (in a circular blue pavilion), Kievsky vokzal (train station), the Novy Arbat, and Alexander Garden, before returning to Teatralnaya Ploshchad. You can purchase a ticket for 10R from the driver. Try to have exact change. Make sure to punch the ticket on board the bus.

Taken at a leisurely pace, with stops at least to glance at the interiors of the many churches along the route, this walk should take about five hours. If you intend to take a quick look at the exhibits in the museums along the way, you'll need an entire day. Both the Politekhnichesky Muzey and the Muzey Istorii Goroda Moskvy are worth coming back to for a more leisurely look at their holdings.

Watch a Movie at the MIFF While Visiting Russia

When travelling to Russia, there are many hidden treasures that tourists may miss while seeking for engaging and authentic attractions. One such tourist hot-spot is the Moscow International Film Festival (MIFF)- among the oldest and most popular of its kind. Incepted in 1935, the festival gained popularity in the late 50s and 60s when a new generation of Russian directors were inspired by their nation’s woes and victories in the previous decades. As a true platform for the cultivation and recognition of artistic talent, the Moscow International Film Festival paved the way for many filmmakers who later became known throughout the world: Istvan Szabo and Kaneto Shindo, Krzysztof Kieslowski and Aki Kaurismaki, Kohei Oguri and Humberto Solas.

Some highlights from the 34 th annual festival in 2012 include the American film director Tim Burton receiving the honorary prize for contribution to world cinema. The diverse program included more than 200 films from 50 countries around the world. The panel of judges for the competitive portion of the festival included internationally renowned directors and actors from all over the globe.

The Moscow International Film Festival is held annually during the summer, and is sure to be an interesting attraction while visiting Russia’s capital in the warm months.
