Like many of his artistic counterparts, Nick Voss has grown up with music – at the age of 5 he discovered Elvis Presley and his passion for the art form has only grown since then. He came to considerable attention in 2011 after performing his song “Trouble” on The X Factor USA, and has established himself as an artist who shares unique and yet also personal stories through his songs. today, PopWrapped are delighted to premiere the video for his latest release “Blame It On The Moon.”
The video for the song features Jefferson McDonald, and if you think the name sounds a little familiar, if you’re a fan of Happy Gilmore, you’d be right – he’s the nephew of Christopher McDonald who played Shooter McGavin.
Nick shares that the track: “…was written in my time of vacation in Naples, Italy, where I was having an explosion of musical ideas. It’s an exploration of vintage style chord structures and spontaneity of creative fun, where my longing for recreational use of marijuana was at its highest.”
Asked about why the song means so much to him, he goes on to add: “The song speaks true to how I feel about the world today, where so much is going on and people feel the need to cast blame on what’s going wrong, and I truly feel we need to embrace the presence of “Mary.” In my experience of life, the best conversations and friendships started while I was smoking with my friends or family. It truly eliminates stress from the outside world for me, and calms my anxiety of the ups and downs from the everyday life.”
