Episode notes

Nick Falcon - Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist.

On this episode of Turning Points, Patricia Killeen welcomes Nick Falcon. Nick grew up in Miami and is an American singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist based in Paris. ‘Bralitz’ is the name he uses for his solo music project, through which he writes, arranges, records and performs his own material. ‘Bralitz’ is a small town in northeastern Germany where he regularly attended a music festival hosted by the netlabel ‘Aaahh Records’. Since 2024, Nick has also been releasing a more stripped-down acoustic version of all his songs under his own name (Nick Falcon).

His style as Bralitz blends international indie folk with diverse classical and regional influences. His music draws heavily from folk, rock 'n' roll, bossa nova, French chanson, manouche, and Brazilian music, creating a distinct cross-genre signature. His compositions prioritize melodic immediacy paired with imaginative, often narrative-driven or witty lyrics. In addition to writing and performing in his native English and Spanish, he incorporates French and Italian into his catalogue and live performances.

During the episode, we hear about his travels before he settled in Paris, his writing process and his life as a musician living in Montmartre. The cherry on the cake is that we get to hear three of his songs and the backstories behind them, which make for great listening.

Patricia saw Nick perform at a party at the Cave Café and can highly recommend him for private events. He can be contacted at: Bralitzmusic@gmail.com
