Yoshimi!

After playing classical cello for a few years Niek Hilkmann decided that a change in identity wouldn’t be such a bad idea. So now you may call him Yoshimi!

Although Yoshimi! may sound like a band, it’s actually just Niek. He just plays a lot of instruments. Here are some in which he is more qualified: Cello, Conga, Guitar, Synth, Bass, Bongo, Tarbuka, Rababa, Harmonium, Trumpet, Accordeon, Euphonium, Drums, Ukulele and some other small things… Every instrument, or better said, everything you hear in his songs is played, sung, yelled or squeezed by Yoshimi!.

Further more Yoshimi! would really like to point out that he’s not one of those dusty guys who only record in their bedrooms or garrets: “I honestly play live with a band, which include my grandfather and a laptop! And besides that, I actually record in an attic…”
