Nick Carpenter has been making music in Alaska under the name Medium Build since 2016. Drawing inspiration from 80s country music and 90s RnB, Medium Build’s songs convey intimate stories drawn from Carpenter’s personal experiences.
Earlier this summer, Medium Build signed a major label contract with Islands Records. This fall they head out on tour in the lower 48, then it’s off to Europe.
ATMI producer Maria Koop sat down with Carpenter in our studio for an extended conversation about his music. He talks about what the major label signing means for the future of the band, the impact his religious upbringing has on his songs, and much more.
Hosted by Kendrick Whiteman.
