SERGE NIKOL
2.30
When Serge Nikol sings these words he isn’t referencing a classic movie. His college years were spent in Moscow after growing up in Montenegro and Kosovo. He later moved to Toronto where he continues to make music that encompasses many styles including blues, bossa nova, pop and rock. His voice leans toward pop icons like Paul McCartney; his guitar chops have a Stevie Ray Vaughn sensibility but he can also pull out a tender Jose Feliciano-like riff on a nylon string guitar.
