Being an unknown in the music world has been made much more difficult with that invention called the internet.
You know, that huge information monster that swallows up data and spits it out leaving just coding and html behind. Musicians can now host their songs on the internet in hope of gaining maximum exposure. Or in our case, falsely tag our lo-fi indie pop tracks as brand new Beatles EPs to generate interest. And to upset the fanboys.
Yes, these days you can plonk an entire back catalogue of material on the internet and hope someone who isn’t related to you buys it. So how does someone undiscovered gain some attention? In the case of Nikita, it was quite easy really. She just bagged herself a support slot with the mighty lords of synth pop, Depeche Mode. That might guarantee you a tiny bit of interest.
