Big Blue Bazooka

Hi, I am Nicholas Kempson, a self-taught musician from Melbourne, Australia.

I am known as 'Nick' to friends and 'Nicky' to family. As for my music, I go by the pseudonym Big Blue Bazooka.

Originally I had no thoughts or intentions for making music, I even had almost no interest in music at all until I was around 19 or 20. Somehow out of chance I accidentally started to discover and enjoy listening to more and more music. Pet sounds by The Beach Boys is what really created my enthusiasm for music, before that I had only known music as “what played on the radio” and thought I just didn't have an interest in it. The reality is that I just didn't know the magnificent world of music that existed behind the horrible playlists of mainstream radio stations. Once I discovered the real world of music on the internet from the big artists, to the complete Bandcamp unknowns, I became a member of the secret society of hardcore music enthusiasts (Disclaimer: this is not a real society, it does not exist).

Near the end of 2018 (I think) my uncle, who has been a music enthusiast and music maker since he was a teenager, compelled me to play Bass guitar on a new years day jam. I had no idea how to play it or what the frets were but he showed me where the G and D notes were and told me to “just keep playing those notes”, and so I did. This must have placed some kind of desire in me subconsciously because a couple months later I ended buying a cheap unbranded bass guitar and it all went from there.
