S12 E8: Nick Llobet

I Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee

There have been plenty of times when my shyness and tenuous self belief has turned up like the proverbial bad smell. Like the naughty people in my ear telling me why I shouldn’t do something. They almost stopped me from taking the plunge and doing this podcast – but I did need more than a push. I’m managing it far better than I used to, but still there a few situations that I get into that I’d rather not have got into. A few weeks ago, I had a complete chance encounter where I got over myself and ended up having the best conversation with a musician and artist whose work I’d admired for a long time.
I drive myself nuts sometimes.
Anyway, Nick Llobet has lived with shyness, imposter syndrome all the while having a prodigious talent for songwriting - their songs are daring and unpredictable, forceful yet tender, confident yet coy and it’s this enchanting kaleidoscope that makes them so compelling.
And….thank fuck for those chance encounters and bravery – you might know that they had a very special one themself with Patti Smith that has helped to bring their band, youbet, to the disciples!
