Recording artist Bo Baskoro has dropped his newest single “One Of Those Nights” available to stream on all DSPs worldwide. The self-penned track is an alternative rock song about the struggle of insomnia and the spiral of effects that it starts to have on ones mental and physical health.
“’One of Those Nights’ is about dealing with insomnia and all the thoughts that flood your mind in those late night hours,” says Bo. “When your eyes and heart are heavy from the swirling thoughts of the past, present and future shaking your mind and body for attention. For some reason when all of the world goes quiet is when these thoughts are the loudest.”
Bo is a prolific artist, actor, model and mental health advocate from the Pacific Northwest. His music is known for its percussive ear candy, honest lyrics, and energizing production. The now LA-based artist exudes an heir of nostalgia, having created a unique sound that seamlessly captures who this Indonesian American is at his core.
The Portland native has always marched to the beat of his own drum. Inspired by the fictional horn-playing character Lanky Kong of Donkey Kong 64, Baskoro’s creativity gravitated toward the trombone, which he continued to study and play throughout his earlier years.
Throughout his musical and acting endeavors, Tourette’s Syndrome has played a large role in Bo’s personal and artistic journey. It has been a part of him and continued to develop and change since he was 6 years old. “I’ve worked so hard to free myself from the world where the topic of mental health was taboo and finally explore my symptoms and navigate through them with a professional,” he says. “There’s a power in knowing the diagnosis of all of the quirks that made me feel like I was a broken burden to the people around me, and finally hearing that these symptoms fell into the diagnosis of Tourette’s, General Anxiety, OCD and Depression helped me finally feel like I could take control of what was happening to me and finally learn how to manage it.”
