Indie Rock from Mike Pasarella

Conceptual artist, musician and photographer Mike Pasarella has hidden Italian roots and spends his time living between The Hague, Rotterdam and Paris. Having always had an affinity for music, he’s had a sonic vision since his early years, however it’s only more recently that he’s taken his work to the studio to capture his sound.

Passionate about poetry and love stories, Mike Pasarella threads delicate lyricism into his writing, offering an emotive reflection of his life and lived experiences. With his music he offers a timeless blend of indie and alternative rock that channels the sounds of artists such as The Beatles, Muse, Michael Jackson, Radiohead and Nirvana, sitting at the crossroads between gritty 90s rock and catchy modern pop.

For his studio recording introduction, he brings us his debut single with the track titled “Not For Me”. Framed in an optimistic context, the single is written about love and hope while dwelling on what we no longer have and miss desperately.

Delivering a moving story in song, “Not For Me” was penned after the artist separated from his wife and partner in crime, with the perspective of the lyrics offering an assurance that it’s ok to move on without him. Led by his impassioned vocals, carrying memorable melodic lines, “Not For Me” is a stunning debut effort from an artist with a lot to offer.

Commenting on the release, he shares, “With Not for Me I make a bridge between the old and new. Both with the story in the song as how I play with the music I grew up with and the sounds I love today. Everything is real, honest and pure. Which means, real instruments”
