Yoshimi!
Yoshimi!…
That's a Japanese girl name that has been taken over by a cert… Read Full Bio ↴Yoshimi!…
That's a Japanese girl name that has been taken over by a certain Niek Hilkmann, a 19 year old ex-student Persian language and culture from Rotterdam.
Why he specifically chose this name has been asked many times, but has also been sparsly answered...
But where he uses the name for raises no questions: Making music, which he loves a lot!
Together with his trusty computer and instruments he records all his music track by track after which he makes songs with them! (Without ever using samples by other musicians)
These previously mentioned instruments include things such as Nieks beloved 12-string guitar, conga's, harmonium, cello, drums, synths, ukulele, tarbuka, bass, bongo's, qua zen qin, xylophone and harmonica.
But there are also some which he can play less well, such as the Mandoline, Accordeon, Harmonium, Trumpet, Mbira, Dizi and Euphonium...
He has currently devoted himself to learning to play these better for you!
But in any case, he does almost everything by himself, recording, mixing, practicing and I don't know what; alone at his house. (but not on the attic)
'Cause the thing is that he isn't a dusty old attic-recording house-mouse.
Live; Yoshimi! is a actual band with his brother Ruud, his grandfather Louis and a tattooed drummer called Dennis as his beloved band-members.
They have been playing for a while now and havn't been thrown out of anything yet! :)
At this moment, Yoshimi! has just three official releases under his belt.
Those are his second EP (released through Esc. Rec.), a remix EP with remixes of his songs by some international music-makers (self-released) and a song on the pink vinyl-record 'Worm T. Schippers Presents: Hark Too!', a tribute record to Wim T. Schippers (released by WORM / Tocado Records).
For the last year and a half Yoshimi! has been working on his first solo album, a short disc of tunes called 'Milkshakes at the Pizzeria', which has been released through Tocado Records on the 9th of May 2009.
A very nice girl called Manon also sings on it!
Besides that, you can also hear stuff as a wedding on Mauritius, his old kindergarten, office machinery, a 70 man chorus of my entire family singing (not quite in unison) and some imitation brazillian carnaval.
All packed in songs about sense, nonsense, life, death and with a bit of luck something in between...
Niek sincerely hopes you'll enjoy Yoshimi!'s songs! ;)
