There are secrets that ultimately cannot be kept a secret for long. Nicole Eitner is one of those secrets: German living in Lisbon, singer, pianist and songwriter, Nicole is on the verge of editing the new album in 2011, which already has an available sample Witness, a four theme ep which was done with the collaboration of musicians Pedro Pinto (bass, also from Groove 4tet), Manu Teixeira (percussionist who also performs with André Sardet and António Chaínho) and Viviena Tupikova (violinist who also belongs to Rodrigo Leão’s Cinema Ensemble). Nicole Eitner’s first recorded solo, Vampires, dates back to 2007. Already then Nicole claimed a profound originality in this work, which allowed her to use the disparate influences of artists like Ella Fitzgerald, Kate Bush, Elizabeth Fraser, David Sylvian or Depeche Mode to create an original sound, deep and full of personality. A sound where her piano skills, with a classical education of twelve years, stand out, enabling her to create disarmingly personal romantic songs. It was thanks to this record that Nicole was chosen to integrate a national "embassy" at the North-American South By Southwest festival, along with David Fonseca, Rita Redshoes, Clan and The Legendary Tigerman in March 2009. At that event, Nicole was awarded first prize in the SXSW Webchange Hottest Band Competition which will result in a recording session in the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis, the birthplace of the greatest pop icon of all time Elvis Presley.
