Raised between Europe and America and shaped through years of numerous musical experiences, Don Nino (a.k.a nicolas laureau) is one of those French artists who builds up their own musical idiosyncrasy.
His voice tends to synchronize with the intricate melodies and rhythms created using his various instruments of choice : acoustic and electric guitar, organ, piano, harmonium, electronics, banjo, glokenspiel, kalimba and many others…
The sober, minimalist poetry of his lyrics, touch a surface and hint at what seems to be a deeply personal source of inspiration.

His uncommon approach to modern urban folk music gives an original form to the songs. They shift from a mixture of deconstructed pop and bittersweet bossa nova to shades of jazz and to darker atmospheres that could be soundtracks of noir movies or to lighter pop songs. Far from easy listening, Don Nino still uses a great sensitivity, an original sense of composition, and the combination of acoustic and electronic sounds to show a new path into a modern universe of various melodies, rhythms and sounds.
His first solo album Real Seasons Make Reasons was a collection of songs which were composed throughout the years he’s spent in various musical projects (Prohibition, nlf3 (trio)). It was produced with a few musicians and recorded by his brother F.Lor who has also recorded as of late: Yann Tiersen, Shannon Wright, Francoiz Breut, Dirty Three and many others.
