Clint Niosi - Bio
“Clint Niosi is a prolific songwriter and composer who calls Fort Worth, Texas home. Clint is known as "an agile fingerstyle guitarist" (I Love FTW), with a "great vocal tone and an original style" (D Magazine). Clint’s lyrics drip with literary themes that "often verge on poetry, as strong alone on the page as when performed with inflections and music added" (FW Weekly). In the Spring of 2023, Clint was selected as an Amplify 817 artist, curated by Hear Fort Worth and the Fort Worth Public Library. Clint’s song Alone/Unknown was featured on the New York Times Spring 2023 Spotify playlist. Clint is currently writing and recording music for his sixth studio album, and aiming for an early 2025 release.
Clint has been the recipient of 18 Fort Worth Weekly Music Award nominations (including 4 for Album of the Year, and one for Best Producer), 2 Dallas Observer Music Award nominations (including one for Best Male Vocalist), and a nomination for Best Solo Artist from the Dallas Morning News. Recently Clint has been excelling behind the scenes as a producer, producing and mixing albums such as Frosty (2017 Psychic Mule Records) and Dia Tree by Mañana Cowboy (June 2018 Dreamy Life Records). In the time since releasing his last full-length album Panorama Avenue in 2020, Clint has transitioned to recording and mixing music full-time via his recording service Orange Otter Audio.”
