Nick Waraksa is called “txai com os instrumentos” (Brother with the instruments) by Ninawa Pai de Mata, Chief of the Huni Kuin Tribe in the Amazon Rainforest. Nick was born into a family of musicians dating back generations and holds degrees in piano performance and music theory from prestigious institutes, expresses it through playing an entourage of instruments and albums in the genres of NeoClassical, Future FOlk, FOlkTronica, MedicineFolk, and DJ performances featuring the LIVE instrumentations from his productions. He has also studied and held space with music in sacred ceremonies with several tribes and spiritual leaders of the Amazon Rainforest. What Nick enjoys most is the spirit of improvisation, how deep you can lean into the moment. How to learn as much as you can and then forget it in order to dive into the unknown at the risk of having to turn your potential “mistakes” into owned moments that lead to the uncovering of new melodies and frequencies. A metaphor for life. The imperfect perfections within us all, personified as sound.
