"Get There Before Noon (LA Mix)": The Afro Nick's Anthem of Hustle and Self-Actualization

The newest single of The Afro Nick titled “Get There Before Noon (LA Mix)”, speaks volumously of cherishing the present and having a sense of urgency to the task at hand. The new version is a fusion of indie, alternative, and psychedelic rock that was recorded by Grammy-winning synth player Leonardo Genovese. Nick Anastasakis, who is also known as The Afro Nick, is a Greek musician who poured everything into the song, getting fully immersed in it.

The message of the song draws its values from pragmatism because of how simple it is. The essence, as described by Nick, comes from a heavy night out, fighting through a hangover to get somewhere. With the lyrics, “And on one day, you gonna miss that day,” and “I got to live this life, not yesterday” the Afro Nick intends to teach a powerful lesson of self-actualization through the song, an important component of life. The song is defined by the amalgamation of, guitar riffs, electronic texture, and Nick’s deep and raspy voice. The nexus between the vocals and chords is knitted in a manner that sounds both futuristic and classic. The final line, “And you all have to do is get there before noon” reinforces the theme of the song, that is, do not sit back and wait for things to happen; show up and get it done.

Nick’s history and voice are rooted in the same place, and the Greek Island, combined with the hustle culture of New York and Los Angeles, is a breeding ground for immaculate musicians. Together with Genovese, and his dear friend George Athanas, the Afro Nick is determined to change the world one chord at a time whilst upholding true to the ethos of freedom. He’s a hustle person, and everyone gets to witness that because he usually has openly set his boundaries; limits get set when others hold them, Work hard, and rest later, ”Get There Before Noon (LA Mix)” is exactly that.
