—October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month—

Click here to see how Up+Adam and our friends at Lumina Alliance are spreading awareness and providing shelter for survivors through impactful events.

In today’s episode of Up+Adam, Adam welcomes Nico Larson from the San Luis Obispo-based band Próxima Parada. Known for their soulful and uplifting sound, Próxima Parada has been making waves in the music scene, amassing over a million monthly listeners on Spotify. Their hit song, “Musta Been a Ghost,” went viral last year thanks to a single TikTok video, leading to the song becoming the #1 most viral track in the U.S. and several other countries. Nico shares how that unexpected breakout moment transformed the band’s trajectory and ushered them into an already growing spotlight.

Nico also talks about the band’s recent decision to take a break from touring this fall to reflect and recharge, as well as his upcoming solo show in Spain this November. He also gives us insight into their latest album Into the Way, which further showcases their unique blend of indie-soul. Make sure to listen to this episode as Nico performs “Musta Been a Ghost” live and gives us a glimpse into what’s next for Próxima Parada.

THE SONG THE GUYS WERE TALKING ABOUT: ‘PARKED OUT BY THE LAKE’
