Welcome to BuzzMusic, Nondoh! Talk to us a little bit about your stage name. What's the story behind "Nondoh"?
Sooo in 2017 I was finishing my debut EP "Catharsis" and I had finally submitted my music to digital distribution under my real name "Fernando Gomez" but once it was out my music was getting mixed up with other Fernando Gomez's music and I wasn't cool with that at all so I took all my music down and re-uploaded it under the new name "Nondoh"
We really enjoyed your new single “I Wanna Know You". How would you describe your creative process behind this record?
This song was one of the fastest songs I have ever written, it took me like a month and a half total from the initial idea, all the way to submitting to digital distribution. Normally I take a long time and try hard to find the right inspiration and the right parts, but for "I Wanna Know You" the inspiration was just constantly there and I really took advantage of that flow. The instruments and the groove all came together in the first week then after that, the focus was only on writing lyrics and creating melodies.
What inspired you to write this single? Did you draw any musical inspiration from any other artists?
This song was definitely inspired by Alina Baraz, Sonder, and Mac Miller. And of course, the story behind the song that is based on a love affair I was in that never reaches its fullest potential. I felt like the vibe and slow grooves of Alina Baraz, Mac Miller, & Sonder really matched the story me and Lindsay are singing about in " I Wanna Know You"
What was it like collaborating with Lindsay Kaye on “I Wanna Know You"?
- Lindsay is amazing we have really become close friends during this whole process, she is super professional, an amazing lyricist, and of course an amazing singer. We always send each other lyric ideas and just vibe and go back and forth to create a story. It's honestly amazing I've never found that kind of flow with any other songwriter.
What can we expect to see from Nondoh throughout 2020?
More collabs with all sorts of different artists and producers, as-well-as different rhythms and styles that I get inspired by. I'm already working on the next single!! Stay tuned.
