ANIKA NILLES picture
I am a drummer and songwriter based in Germany. Since 2013, I have been working as a freelance musician releasing my own compositions created around the drums. Composing and writing music has been an interesting process to me over the last couple of years. I feel the most interesting part in writing instrumental music is combining rhythmic and melodic ideas and bringing in emotions and feelings, all while keeping a balance between complexity and simplicity.

Writing music in this direction turned out to be a passion for me over the last few years. Composing from a “non-harmonic” instrument is challenging in several ways. The groove, and how it can sound in a musical context, is found by collecting ideas and imagining a song structure. Also, there are periods where I’ve been in a playing and creative mode on the drums while other times I’ve been more focused on the harmonic parts.
