LAS: In a city known for its vibrant music scene, how has Atlanta influenced the
evolution of Now After Nothing, both musically and culturally?

NAN: That’s a really great question. In all reality, I was probably more influenced
musically by my time growing up in the South Florida music scene before I moved to

Atlanta. I think I was just there during a more impressionable time in my life and it’s
where I began to cut my teeth as a songwriter. But Atlanta certainly feels more like
‘home’ than Miami/Ft. Lauderdale – especially from a cultural perspective. I love the

diversity of Atlanta – be it socio-culturally, geographically – what have you. There is
also a unique element of tension that I feel living in Atlanta as it compares to the rest
of the state of Georgia. That tension, though not necessarily enjoyable, can certainly

be inspirational.

LAS: What do you hope listeners take away from the music of Now After
Nothing, especially considering the diverse range of genres you explore within

the darkwave umbrella?

NAN: I really only ever want listeners to

find something in our music that they
can connect to, no matter what that may
be. Everybody’s different and has their
tastes of course, so having a diverse

sound and range of influences could be
just as likely a hinderance to that

connection as it is to help it. But it’s not
about winning people over - it’s really
just about finding the people that will
take something away from our music
