Clint Niosi

Clint Niosi is a songwriter and composer who hangs his hat in Fort Worth, Texas. Clint is known as "an agile fingerstyle guitarist" (I Love FTW), with "great vocal tone and an original style" (D Magazine). He received a B.A. in English from the University of Texas at Arlington with a minor in History. Clints lyrics drip with dark literary themes that "often verge on poetry, as strong alone on the page as when performed with inflections and music added" (FW Weekly). In additon to this he occasionally produces entirely instrumental works such as the score for Dallas director Frank Mosely's experimental film "Her Wilderness". As a guitarist you can hear him in the melancholy project "Frosty" (album due in 2015) as well as Fort Worth's finest land locked surf band "The Chrome Mags". He has been the recipient of 11 Fort Worth Weekly Music Award nominations (including 2 for Album of the Year), 2 Dallas Observer Music Award nominations (including one for Best Male Vocalist), and a nomination for Best Solo Artist from the Dallas Morning News.





Clint has shared the stage with many artists from across the globe, some of which include VietNam (Brooklyn), Christina Courtin (NYC), Sons of an Illustrious Father (NYC), Jana Hunter (Baltimore), (Muse Mcanique (Portland, OR), Good Night and Good Morning (Chicago), Corespondents (Seattle), The Weird Weeds (Austin TX), Cowboy Indian Bear (Lawrence Kansas), Bad Veins (Cincinnati), Jenny Dalton (Minneapolis), Venus Flytrap (Den Haag, The Netherlands), The Migrant (Copenhagen), and Uchoojean Tokyo (Tokyo, Japan).
