Ahead of his dates supporting PRESIDENT, Ando San has shared dynamic, guitar-led single ‘Thick Neck’.
An L.A. artist who swerves unapologetically between genres, the track sees him drawn back to the first instrument he learned to play – the guitar.
On ‘Thick Neck’, he has shared:
“I wanted to channel my metal origins and blend a 2000’s hip hop vibe to the track. The guitar tone is very much inspired by classic death metal like Cannibal Corpse, and what kicked this song off was very much the riff. I’ve typically always done the beat first, but lately with the songs I’ve beewriting the guitar has become the focal point of my process.
“Thick Neck is about how I have tough skin. I have been doing music full-time for 7 years, and have had a lot of people in my ear telling me how I should act, what I should say, and how I should feel. It’s very important for me to be myself and follow my intuition with everything I do with my art. I very much tapped into myself for inspiration; as weird as that is to say, I feel like I’ve been having a lot of interesting ideas in my head that I’ve never really heard anywhere else. I’m still trying to figure out what that is, and I think that’s very exciting.”
