The first time we heard 29 year old Nino Moschella we knew he had that magic touch. Gritty, soulful, and honest, his vocal styling and unique funk-meets-rock-meets-soul productions were a must-have for Ubiquity. Imagine our surprise when we learned that this golden voice belonged to a rough n'tumble Irish-Italian-American character from around the way. Fellow Bay Area crooner Bart Davenport bought Nino Moschella to our attention. He mailed demo tracks that had been recorded at Moschella's home studio. Working on only a 4-track tape machine, hand claps and broom-stick banging took the place of computer-driven drum loops. Innovating with limited resources his thrifty studio situation provided the perfect dirty back-drop to a fresh vocal talent.
