Anika Nilles is an exceptional drummer who impressed with her rhythmic intelligence, including Jeff Beck, who died in 2023, whom she accompanied alongside Johnny Depp on his last major tour. At the memorial concert for Jeff Beck in London's Royal Albert Hall, Anika Nilles was on stage with Eric Clapton, Ron Wood, Rod Stewart, John McLaughlin and numerous other stars. She is known for her expressive playing and unique style, her Youtube performances have over 23 million clicks. She took three years for her third album - and the wait was worth it. "False Truth" is a work that goes deep under your skin. It processes intense emotions, shaped by personal experiences and global issues that could not be more topical. Particularly noticeable is the homage to the guitar legend Jeff Beck, who accompanied him on his last concert tour. But the album is much more than just a tribute. It reflects a time in which the world seems highly developed and at the same time fragile. Together with her band Nevell, Anika pursued the ultimate goal in the recording studio to capture as much energy and passion as possible. The result is an album that is not only musically convincing, but above all one by telling her own story. "Just by the emotions that characterize the titles, it's my most honest and personal album to date," says Anika herself. "False Truth" is a journey through the ups and downs of life - powerful, touching and absolutely authentic.
