“Gemtones” is a project created by Brooklyn-based audio engineer and singer-songwriter Nicole Gemmiti.
Her vocal and guitar performance, as well as her songwriting, are heavily influenced by some of her favorite artists, including Jack White, Stevie Nicks and Gillian Welch. She draws production influence from folk, blues and modern alternative rock, while lyrically tackling themes informed by her personal experience with mental illness, queerness, heartbreak, and emotional empowerment.
While her debut 2-track single “Good” and debut EP “Garden Ghost” include tracks with raunchy guitar and a driving rhythm section, her sophomore single “I’m Sorry” attempts to break from that mold. “I’m Sorry” is a new take on her previous sound, providing a much simpler instrumental structure that serves to bring the lyricism to the forefront.
Nicole is currently writing more new music and is excited to begin to share this new chapter for the “Gemtones” project.
