Fun facts about Summerās Gone: 1) canāt take credit for such a timeless lyric, but when @thutmose showed me a track containing the lyrics as a VERSE, I was like holā up!! this is a hook if I ever heard oneā¦ 75 million streams later, it still works without the bells and whistles. Shouts to John Frusciante for letting me steal his everything
2) I recorded the original track through my Fender Princeton Chorus guitar amp - which I sent off today to our lucky Patreon winner.
3) The music video features me in my dadās hawaiian shirt from the 80āsā¦ itās since gone missing, but I periodically spot it in peopleās music videos š
4) I will be playing this song on next weeks Europe Tour, yes š got your tix yet??

NoMBe has never treated music like something that needs to stay still. It moves with him, reshapes itself, and reflects whatever chapter he happens to be living in. That sense of freedom has become his signature, not a specific sound, but the refusal to be defined by one.
Raised in Germany and now based in Los Angeles, the self-produced multi-instrumentalist has spent years building a catalogue that resists easy categorisation. From the hazy textures of They Mightāve Even Loved MeĀ to the vibrant world of Chromatopia, his music has always felt like a response to life as it happens. Nearly a billion streams later, support from names like Elton John and Pharrell Williams, and placements across film and television have only amplified what was already clear. NoMBe exists in his own lane.

Today, I turn 35 years old (I think!)
Believe it or not, I actually love getting olderā¦.and my close friends know Iām really turning 90 š“š½.āØ
There are so many things Iām grateful for: my first year as a dad & housebandā¦ my first expensive-ass Europe Tour that starts in 3 WEEKS!!!!āØ
Which is partly why I also decided that TODAY is the perfect day to ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.drumrolll. Launch my Patreon.āØ
Now BEFORE YOU JUDGE ME - YOU LIL JUDGE JUDY YOU, Iām actually giving away 3 very special gifts:
āØ1) Iām raffling off the āWaitā & āCalifornia Girlsā guitar amp. Yes, you heard correctly. The amp I used on They Mightāve Even Loved Me, signed, sealed, delivered to a very special someone willing to be one of the first members over the next 72 hours. No other actions required and winner will be announced this Friday.
āØ2) You get immediate access to my āvaultā. A place for unreleased tracks, demos and high-res sample files from my production clips.
3) Lastly, weāre bringing back the group zooms. A lot of you have been waiting since the pandemic and I really miss that kinda community.
Thatās itā¦. I know times are hard, but I want to lead with giving what I can so that we can start building community again. Link in bio!

I really thought Iād never tour again.
In prepping for this lil Europe run, Iām reminiscing over all the amazing shows I got to playā¦ I felt like I was just getting started when I was diagnosed with 4 bulging discs during the pandemic.. a real heartbreak and I thought Iād never tour again. Somehow, one pop up after another, I found confidence again to get back out there and give you these songs the way they were intended.
Iām still not at the fitness level I wanna be, but maybe thatās okay? At some point, you gotta say f*** itā¦stop hidingā¦..let the universe do what it does.
This coming run is the scariest thing Iāve done *live*: new cities, intimate crowds, no band - jus till olā me - so I decided to do few warm up songs with @badowlrecords performance May 2nd in LA.
Come through or otherwise Iāll see you overseas in a few weeks for the DIĆSPORA tour šš±šŖ“šļø

I never really took a proper moment to acknowledge āWaitā hitting 100 million streams. Time flew by and this song continues to remind me how powerful simple chords, simple lyrics and real emotion are. I didnāt grow up playing guitar, or never thought of myself as much of a singer evenā¦ yet here we are šŗš½ā¦ whatās a really simple song you love?
