Mixtape Hope

Thea Aksland & Nelson Capote

Drs. Luis and Andrea Espinoza Season 5 Episode 3

Navigating our "origin stories"  while finding those along this path who compliment the journey is a creative endeavor in and of itself. Trusting the process of musical production and the "business" of music is eloquently shared by Thea Aksland and Nelson Capote.

Thea Aksland is a DYNAMIC young artist who has found that compliment in Nelson Capote. Capote is a prolific multi-instrumental musician, producer, innovator and  visionary. 

Thea is a talented vocalist, songwriter, pianist, producer and teacher. Emerging in 2020 with her debut Love Line to her latest release eleMENTAL (co-produced by Capote), she is exploding with authentic emotional energy. As a certified music educator, Thea encourages her young students and inspires them to push beyond the fear- amalgamating emotion and memory into music. Thea is truly innovative, her genre evoking a much needed authenticity, making you lean in and TRULY feel.

Nelson reminds us to surrender in the creative journey. Nelson has worked with artists such as Grace Gardener, providing much of the instrumentation for both of her acclaimed EP's Peach and Recovery Mile and easily explores a wide range of instruments from horns to strings and so much more.

Nelson's tenure in production and recording is obvious when you listen to his music. His "style" is fueled by infusing creative experimentation and attention to detail. The destination of musical presence can only be experienced by listening to these very prolific artists.
