“...My dream has always been to share the story of my culture with as many people who want to listen. My grandparent’s story, especially accounts of their faith, resilience, and hope despite the many obstacles that they endured, and more recently, the plight of the street children in Armenia - the very children who taught me some of the songs which are now on this album - have inspired me. I long to share these stories with others. And as I pass on this music, these stories to others, I hope that people will be as enriched as I have been.”

||: Niels Cremer ist Gitarrist, Multiinstrumentalist und Singer-Songwriter; seine Songs wurzeln in der akustischen Singer-Songwriter Tradition, bauen jedoch mühelos stilistische Brücken zu modernen Stilelementen der Popmusik. Seine Musik hat sich über die Jahre zu einem authentischen, eigenständigen Repertoire entwickelt.

Seine aktuelle Neuerscheinung „Seven Scores Of Sorrow“ die am 06.11.2015 bei Timezone Records erscheint ist ein kleine Sammlung von sieben entspannten, groovigen Songs die weiterhin von der akustischen Gitarre geprägt werden und eine entschleunigte Lounge-Atmosphäre aufbauen in die man sich fallen lässt wie in einen bequemen Lieblings-Sessel.
