Two Far North teenagers who have been making music together since they were 12 have released their debut album.
SkeletonCrew - Felix Danilo, 17, Waipapa, and Nicole Obren, 19, of Ōpua - released the eight-track album 'It's Better I Don't Know' last week on major streaming platforms and for digital download on Bandcamp. Danilo performed, mixed and produced the music in his bedroom, Obren adding the vocals in Waipapa music tutor Julian Brady's studio over Christmas.
The genre is described as indie/alternative with a blend of pop, rock and electronica.
Danilo, one of the youngest musicians to hold two musical performance diplomas in electric guitar from the London College of Music, and currently in Year 13 at Kerikeri High School, hopes to study music in Wellington next year. Obren is in her second year studying marine biology at Victoria University in Wellington. They have previously played together in Northland youth bands such as Friday Night Special.
