Nomy is the name of the Swedish artist who has singlehandedly taken
his music from a little bedroom in Jönköping to the world stage via
the Internet. His hit song "Cocaine" spread like wildfire and today is
downloaded and streamed in Scandinavia, Europe and large parts of USA
and Canada.
- Like most artists, I wanted others to bond with my music. But I
wanted to do it my own way and in my own pace. I discovered early on
how music had the opportunity to grow on the internet and vice versa.
With my modest home recording set up worth 15,000SEK ($2200) I create
everything by myself. When Guitar, drums, bass, vocals and song are
fed into my computer it becomes my music, my sound, shaped in my way,
says Nomy.
Over 8 million plays on Spotify
Nomy was quickly placed on top lists, both small and more established.
For example, the song "cocaine" played almost 2 million times on
YouTube and he dominated the chart on www.allears.se with 10 different
songs. Most notable to date is the placing of "Song or Suicide" as the
50th most played album on Spotify, where since July 2009 has long with
all his other songs collected over 8 million plays, with 2 million of
these in January alone.
- The major breakthrough was the combination of social media, such as
my own website, YouTube, Facebook, MySpace as well as the digital
distribution service Record Union who continue to make sure my music
is available on all of the world’s major music services. My drive was
to give the fans what they wanted, without conditions, continues Nomy.
- The song "Cocaine" for which I feel and still do feel an
overwhelming pride, was the first song I sent up to the various music
websites. The amount of downloads gradually increased and the fans
began to gather at my official website www.nomy.nu. There I collected
all my work for visitors to download - for free of course, explains
Nomy.
