‘First time’ MEETING
MAY 7, 2019– It was a gloomy evening in Clemson, SC but as Nordista Freeze and his band showed up, a light was cast over Nana’s Banana Cabana. We got the chance to sit down with the Cosmic Haus singer before a night full of dancing and singing ensued.
Freeze is a Nashville native, but he spends most of his time on the road. When we asked him how he made time for other things he explained, “That’s the million dollar question,” he sighed, looking down at his knees and then back up at us; smiling he continued, “I just really care about it [music], a lot”.
He used the USA Olympic Fab Five team, as an example of what dedication looks like because of all the stuff they had to miss out on in order to perfect their skills. He went on to say “I take it really seriously and I work on it as much as I can”.
When you listen to his most recent album, Cosmic Haus you get a sense of ’60s intertwined with electric pop. His music is full of energy and it makes you want to dance around your living room. Freeze gets inspiration from his favorite band, the Beach Boys. Which is evident when you see his songs “Wysteria” and “Florida” live.
A TRAVELING BAND
Freeze and his crew (Bryce- keys and guitar, Johnny/Future Crib- drums, Grant- guitar, and Sam- bass) travel far and wide to play for new crowds and meet new people. His band is made up of people that he has grown up with and all of them bring something unique to the stage during the show.
We asked him to tell us about his favorite place that he has played so far and he told us, “We play wherever the people are. I have a pretty unique relationship with every city,” he paused, looking onto the crowd of people standing around and socializing, “I’m pretty experiential and moment based, so it’s hard to pick a favorite.”
Each city means different things for Freeze and his band, and they always make an effort to become pals with everyone they come across. It is important to them that they make relatioships with the people that come out and watch them play. The venues that they choose are ones that have a more intimate setting.
He explained, “I think you can make a lot more relationships here [Nana’s Banana Cabana], than sitting in a green room and walking onto a stage and maybe signing an autograph after. I respect bands like that, but I want to meet people”.
TIME FOR A ‘GOOD TIME’
The show was full of energy and moving bodies. Pure enjoyment radiated off of Freeze and his band as they jumped around and played. During some parts of the show, Freeze ran around in the crowd. The energy was nothing but upbeat and exciting.
Freeze was truly a sight to see, as he shook his tamborine and danced around during the instramental parts of “Hey Gigi”. His way of interacting with a crowd and making them dance is unique, and not something you ever expect. If you ever get the chance to see him play, take it and let your hair down. We promise, you will not be disappointed.
What’s Next?
The “Homecoming Queen” singer is going to work on recording new music later this month and over the course of this summer. Thanks to his drummer, Johnny, they have a basement to record some of their songs onto tapes. He is also working on creating new content like music videos.
He is also in the midst of booking more shows this summer, because he wants to reach as many people as possible. So, be on the look out for those dates and go jump around with him and his lovely band.
Stay Groovy and check out Nordista Freeze on Instagram, as well as the rest of his crew and their projects/music: Bryce, Sam, Grant, and Johnny. You can also stream his music on all streaming platforms, so go give him a listen!
