Hello, my name is Niall, but you can call me the Niallist. I make music in Glasgow, and sometimes at a country hide-away in Ireland. My main influences are love, loss, life, death, joy & pain. People who have influenced me are Daniel Wang, Grace Jones, Aaron Carl, Kanye West, Greg Wilson, Wiliam Shakespeare, Cosmo, David Mansuco, Leonardo Da Vinci, Alexander Robotnick, Giorgio Moroder, the Italians that do it better, Orson Welles, Patrick Cowley, Joe Meek, James Murphy, Stanley Kubrick, RZA, Norman Cook, Prince Paul, Dr Dre, Pedro Almodovar, Mungo's Hi-Fi, Optimo Espacio, Grant Morrison, Alan Moore, George Clinton, Duke Ellington, Missy Elliot and Prince. Musically my influences are diverse, from lo-fi rock to soundtracks, from hip-hop and R&B to dub and ambient, but I will always return to the greatest form of music ever created by man - DISCO. |
