About Nelu Lazar

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I was near 10, I used to set up pillows on chairs in the living room and played my "drums" along with the singers and bands during music festivals broadcasted on TV. My grandma also advised me that I should always pay attention to the lyrics. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice, Jesus Christ Superstar (Original Studio Cast) 2012 Remastered Phoenix, Cantafabule The Pretty Things, S.F. Sorrow I am fascinated by rock operas. These are masterpieces that influenced my senses and perceptions through music and lyrics. My hope is that, someday in my lifetime, I would perform in a rock opera production - others' or mine (so far I wrote three). Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “urcare coborândă” I made this song in 1998. I always loved to prosodically play with words and locutions while writing my lyrics, but this song in particular has a descending rise of senses and meanings. It's a mystery that I wish my listeners will decode and share. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? So far I am an occasional artist. But when I launched my poetry/lyrics book and opera album in 2023, I dared to self-organize a tour with 8 shows in 7 locations in 6 days with 38 guest artists. It was by far the climax of my artistic "career" so far. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Since I haven't been prolific as an artist for twenty years, taking a long odd break from my artist life of my college years, I now have revived only the tip of the iceberg of my cultural projects - I have artistic plans for the rest of my life.
