Band Members: Although they are no “members of bandâ€, their voice and interpretation give soul to each of The Nerdy One’s tracks ; let’s get closer to the singers :
Lazy Dancer :
Singer, pianist and video producer Elizabeth Robles gives her warm, soulful voice to this track. Some of the musical and visual works of this versatile artist can be checked here :

Real Deal :
Since the very beginning, it was clear that singer and painter Jose Mario “El Dragon del Norte“ and “Real Deal“ were having a perfect match. Performing the chorus as well as the main voice on two diferent scales, Jose Mario managed to give this track its full dimention. Samples of both his music and painting are awaiting your visit :

Mission :
If life is a journey, music is the only thing within Edith’s bag. Tired to carry such a weight, one day she decided to set it free through her voice : first improvising, after with a few classes, next in some concerts. Since then, voice and music have taken their own path and Edith Islas just follows them all. Today the three gather in here.
You can have a look at her blog (with texts both in English and Spanish) following this link :

Not Start : Better known as one of Mexico’s very best beat-boxers, The Drumfreak made his debut as a singer in this track that seemed written for his low and somewhat dark voice.
