Artist Bio.
The Nash, real name Léonard Cédric Banga Mbom, is a musician passionate about creation and innovation. He was born in France at the end of the 80’s. At the age of 3 he had his first contact with a piano, an instrument he has never left since. Music has always been his passion and today it is more than a profession, it is part of his being. After studying telecommunications engineering, his passion for sound processing came to the fore. It turned into an artistic approach. The synthesizer being the perfect tool to explore and process a wide range of sounds, he decided to make it his instrument of choice. His style is characterized by an extraordinary musicality that allows him to explore the most complex areas, such as jazz, classical music and rock, without forgetting his Fang-Beti origins, which have allowed him to incorporate ethnic instruments into his work. His two albums so far have been inspired to a large extent by the cinema, because the 7th art unites all the styles and gives priority to the imaginary. HEROIC will be an ode to the African hi-fantasy, while Rainfall will revive the original meaning of the word rain, whose melody soothes and enchants, in a lo-fi style.
