A true artist who shatters contemporary genres and boundaries, Nory is much more than a rapper. His approach and flow is often likened to the musicality of a jazz musician with the energy of Rage Against The Machine. Nory’s unending thirst for musical exploration has created a deep and diverse discography ranging from EDM Rap, explosive full band rock-hip hop, and experimental jazz.

Can you tell us a bit about your background and your music project? How did you start and what made you take it seriously?

My name is Nory, I started producing music 5-6 years ago on GarageBand with 0 prior musical experience and complete curiosity. Then, music suddenly became a daily practice and I started to obsessively immerse myself in production. Over the course of those years I also began exploring my voice by rapping over my produced music. Having released some projects and performed some shows in my hometown of Miami, I was ready to take the next step and move to New York City where I had always dreamt of living as an artist. 2 years later, I am living my dream life in New York City performing my original music multiple days a week with my band, hosting a weekly music event in Brooklyn, and frequenting music studios while finalizing my next album.

What inspires you and makes you want to create? Do you have any routines before you start working on music?

I am easily impressionable. When I hear a song or style of playing that stimulates me, I can’t get it out of my mind and want to embody the spirit of that music. Often times I’ll hear a record or see a live performance that immediately inspires me and I do my best to recreate it through my own arsenal of lyricism and production.

How would you describe your music? In your opinion, what’s the best way for someone to experience it?

My new music that I have been working on is a blend of Alternative Hip-Hop and Heavy Rock. Nu Metal energy meets Kendrick Lamar’s intention meets the fun and charisma of Outkast. I heavily emphasize the importance of live music and live performance within my artistry. You have to see me live to truly understand me as an artist.

How did you find out about Groover and what made you decide to use the platform?

I found out about Groover through my friend Adi Malka, the front man of Brooklyn based band Why Another. He invited me to their showcase in Lower East Side and I became a big fan of the platform.

How has it helped you? What opportunities have you gotten through Groover?

I have performed many times at Pianos but this was definitely my favorite show there. Everybody felt truly interested in what I was doing from the very beginning, plus my band and I felt super welcomed and appreciated from the moment we walked into the venue. Groover, and its community, created a very intentional and loving atmosphere.

Kim Logan & the Silhouettes make alternative music about alchemy and politics, primed for our current time of societal collapse. Their sounds are fused from origins in the American South and the industrial cities of the UK, bringing a new blend of rock music for life on the brink of a collective new age.

« I’ve had some seriously cool successes through Groover […]. It’s such a great intermediary between artists and people who can actually platform us in big ways. » – Kim Logan

Can you tell us a bit about your background and your music project? How did you start and what made you take it seriously?

Kim Logan & the Silhouettes was based in Paris from 2018-2023, when I started creating my upcoming album with producer Rex Roulette (Eagles of Death Metal, Bob Vylan, Rival Sons, KALEO), and moved my work and band to the UK.

How would you describe your music? In your opinion, what’s the best way for someone to experience it?

The Silhouettes got their start in Paris, and have now morphed into a group that comprises UK and European musicians. After extensive touring from 2021-2023, their 3rd LP, the follow up to 2020’s critically-acclaimed “Shadow Work,” is releasing as singles throughout 2025. Evolving from influences based in the 60s and 70s history of blues and psychedelic rock, Kim Logan & the Silhouettes partnered with producer/guitarist Rex Roulette (Bob Vylan, Eagles of Death Metal, KALEO, Dead Sara), and bassist Dominic Davis (Jack White, Pharrell) to bring shades of trip-hop, industrial sounds, and fresh alt-pop songwriting to the often antique and recycled medium of modern rock music.

How did you find out about Groover and what made you decide to use the platform?

I actually met Dorian originally at a festival event in Paris (before Covid) and have been with Groover for a long time, but started to really use all of its features in the last year or so since I’ve been releasing new music.

How has it helped you? What opportunities have you gotten through Groover?

I’ve had some seriously cool successes through Groover: SPIN Magazine, Rolling Stone Español, Billboard Brasil, DJ Laura Beth (BBC & other UK radio), Common Sense (430k on Youtube), Electric Funeral Records, El Mostroso 6250k on TikTok), Igor Miranda (journalist, Brasil), Witchy Vibes (91k saves on Spotify), GTA Vice City playlist (50k saves on Spotify), Milo Vinyl (50k on IG), Live Me If You Can (French live sessions) and so many more. It’s such a great intermediary between artists and people who can actually platform us in big ways.

What are your upcoming projects and any other cool news you’d like to share with us?

The rest of my upcoming album Saturnalia starts its release on April 18, with the title track. A bunch of singles will follow, and they’ll all synthesize together around the same themes of esotericism, politics, and the weird vibes that continue to grow on planet Earth. Rex and I have been moving away from some of my former psych-blues-rock sounds and into new territory for the band as a whole… This album has trip-hop and industrial sounds, grunge, post-punk, and tons of other elements that are more from the 90s and 00s influences I picked up in the last few years. Everything from Mark Lanegan to Depeche Mode, from Nine Inch Nails to Doja Cat, were all really present in my mind while trying to make something fresh.

What advice would you give to artists just starting out with their music projects? What’s the most important thing you’ve learned since you started?

Advice I’d give to others starting any kind of musical project would be that “anything goes” right now, so really just do exactly what you’re passionate about doing, and do a LOT of it, trying to make sure you really love every bit of what you put out into the world. This industry is not in good shape, and it’s probably only going to be saved by people who are in this for truly honest artistic reasons. Writing a great song is much more important than the algorithm, in terms of what you want to leave as your creative legacy, I promise.

We had the pleasure to talk about his career and his use of Groover, for the promotion of his new music project.

« Groover helped me gain more exposure into other methods of promoting my music and exploring playlist placement for my future singles! » – 3kelves

Can you tell us a bit about your background and your music project? How did you start and what made you take it seriously?

I’ve always been interested in indie and electronic music my entire life, but never felt that I was good enough to create the music that I love. During the pandemic, Disclosure started streaming on Twitch and revealed exactly how they made their songs from very beginning to the very end. That made me realize I have all the tools that I needed, I just needed to create. So I found a great community of musicians on Discord worldwide (Indonesia, UK, Germany, Netherlands, etc). When I found a great music studio in San Francisco, I quit my tech job and started to make music every day!

What inspires you and makes you want to create? Do you have any routines before you start working on music?

Although I listen to the newest Spotify playlists to discover new music, I found that my friends and my community have been making truly inspiring materials. Also through collaborations, I’ve been learning new tricks and new ways of creating music. Routines-wise, I try to read some poetry books before writing lyrics for inspiration.

How would you describe your music? In your opinion, what’s the best way for someone to experience it?

I’ve had two sides of the 3kelves project. One side is the fun club disco house music that should be blasted in clubs, gyms, weddings etc. Other side is my indie pop project, which would be more fit for casual listening and cool cafes.

How did you find out about Groover and what made you decide to use the platform?

I found Groover from the Noise Pop contest, but have been diving more into what Groover can bring to my music projects, and I’ve been loving it!

How has it helped you? What opportunities have you gotten through Groover?

It helped me gain more exposure into other methods of promoting my music and exploring playlist placement for my future singles!

What are your upcoming projects and any other cool news you’d like to share with us?

I have a disco-house club banger EP with Dylan C. Greene coming out this summer! Also doing a tour around Arizona, San Diego and New York soon!

What advice would you give to artists just starting out with their music projects? What’s the most important thing you’ve learned since you started?

Collaborate and find people in your groups and reach out. Groover, Instagram, Discord and other social internet services make it easier to connect with people worldwide who have the same interest as you.
