20-year-old Boerne, Texas native Nikala, recently unveiled their latest single, "Have I Met You?" Nikala has been crafting music for three years, drawing inspiration from personal experiences and his diverse upbringing in San Antonio, where classic rock legends like Def Leppard and Van Halen shaped his early musical taste. Surrounded by music from a young age, Nikala started his musical journey on a drum set gifted to him at age 7, influenced by their father’s love for guitar and bass. After a hiatus from music during his younger years, he rediscovered a passion for creating and producing, diving headfirst into the world of recording and mixing.
Nikala's latest single, "Have I Met You?" is an emotionally charged track, rooted in the personal struggle of letting go of a past relationship. The track explores the lingering feelings and the “what ifs” that come with the loss of love. “This song was basically me imagining if we were able to ‘start over,’ but I know that will never be able to happen,” Nikala shares. While the inspiration comes from a complicated situation, the track offers a sense of romance and hope, acting as an escape from the harshness of reality.
Beyond his latest release, Nikala is preparing to release an EP that promises to take listeners on a sonic journey filled with expansive and rich sounds. Drawing influence from artists like Joji, EDEN, and Tame Impala, this upcoming project will showcase a balance of emotionally deep lyrics with the immersive production that listeners have come to appreciate. We can expect a blend of high and low moments that capture both the vulnerability and strength that Nikala brings to his music.
