Nicolas Dal Sasso

Biography

Originary italian, I was born in Neuchâtel, in Switzerland, the 29th of January 1995. Since then, I’ve always been living in this department, first in Hauterive and then in Colombier.

Concerning the studies, I’d ended a commercial formation before I travelled in England to experience a new style of life and also to brush up my English until the end of june.

My interest for the guitar from my 5th age has been brought by my father’s influence who is still a guitarist. Some months later, I began my first guitar lessons, encouraged by all of my family, who has always been faithful with me.

I consider me as a self-taught person, that means that I’ve never followed any music theory lesson. I’ve managed “to play by ear” as the idiom says.

Guitar, firstly acoustic and then electric, is my predilection instrument. I’m also able to beat the drum, and to play the bass guitar and the piano. I know some slight harmonica tricks as well. After that, I usually sing when I’m in my room while playing the guitar only for fun, but actually I’ve never followed any singing lesson.

Whilst my youth, I’d have rather played football, even though music had been an important hobby for me. I’ve been able to compose melodies since I was 10, but I started to write texts and lyrics when I was 17.

((My musical inspirations are really varied. I stumbled upon the guitar and began to like it due to the influence of a famous “boogie rock” band called Status Quo. “Punk and alternative rock” has been my most likeable music style later, includind some bands like Sum 41, Blink 182 or Simple plan and Green. Then, listening to Bruce Springsteen’s songs, otherwise called “The Boss”, helped me to bring me into of the musical instrument’s world and the composition. Finally, Ed Sheeran, who is a new but such a talented artist, is brought out to this list of inspirations.))
