about
The Dropjoy trio consists of 3 very diverse human beings with a single passion for the creation of real music. The band is known for captivating their audiences from the first high energy rock-n-roll blast to the last dying strums touching lonely hearts. Dropjoy officially formed in the summer of 2004 when the long time duo of singer/songwriter and guitarist Nicki Walker and drummer Andy Light teamed up with bass player Etienne de Bruin in San Diego, CA. The explosion of love and chemistry between these three was prevalent from day one and the band promptly decided to rework all Nicki's material and stage an assault on the San Diego local music scene. The band played shows from the buzz of San Diego's downtown Gaslamp quarter and the sunny festivals of Southern California, to the hip scenes of Hollywood and Los Angeles. At the heart of Dropjoy's music lies the authenticity of Nicki's songs which speak of a life of triumph over turmoil, a life of losing loved ones and gaining friends who become like family. Nicki was born and raised in New York. She began playing and writing music at the tender age of seven and has been playing ever since. A combination of thought provoking lyrics, whiskey soft vocals and driving guitar rhythms, makes her is a force to be reckoned with. Live shows are uncompromising and always electrifying. Andy Light, formerly of Lightning Loyd, has musical influences ranging from Van Halen to Art Blakey and the Jazz messengers. Andy was born in San Berna
