Influences
I'm too far gone into this now to have those influences mean what they did.
I think it's truly me now.
Got some nice filters though.
Biggest feeling is being IMPACTFUL.
Nicholas Barron is an artist. He's a songwriter, a guitarist, singer, and painter.
He began his career in Europe as a busker and ended up in Chicago where he founded C.A.S.A.(The coalition for the advancedment of street art) when the city was trying to ban Street performers. He and his fellow buskers won the right to perform on the street and in the subway. In the Spring of 2010 he is Narrating a documentary about Street Artists.
He has had a couple of well known Chicago based bands including MIND THE GAP with Guitar virtuoso Fareed Haque (currently with Garaj Mahal) and SWIMMER (with FILTER drummer Steve Gillis). Swimmer piut out 2 records that we're both called "the best of Chicago" on Richard Milne's weekly Chicago radio show called Local anesthetic on 93.1 WXRT.
Nicholas has been making his living for almost 25 years playing both his original songs, interpreting Classic American Soul-Jazz-Rock and Blues, and singing Commercial Jingles as well as doing national voice over spots.
He has been told quite often that he has a unique and original voice and style and has been compared to Macy Gray.
Since 2004-he has been busy recording records for CANDYRAT RECORDS(CANDYRAT.COM). He also did an unreleased CD with Los Angeles producer/mixer Dave Way that featured the Memphis horns and in January 2007, was the launch artist for The NY Times Emerging artists program. He recently auditioned for America's Got talent and made it to the Executive producer's round. On November 21st of 2009, he is playing "Hallelujah" for Chicago Big wig Billy Dec's wedding at Lookingglass theater right after MACY GRAY!!
Nicholas is a one of a kind artist who has done things his own way -outside of the box-so to speak. He has created his living by not following pre-determined rules and boundaries but instead by living his signature off the cuff and spontaneous way. He is a good business man and has always made a great living-though only as a means to an end.
Once you've heard Nicholas-you remember that voice and his omni present personality!

Hello Nicholas... It is a pleasure to make your virtual acquaintance, and I thank you for including me among your friends! I hope you like my tunes. All the best to you, Bobby Snard... ♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫
Thanks for adding me. Can't decide which I like better -- the smooth instrumental sound or the thought-provoking lyrics. I do more composing than performing these days. I uploaded a new song called "Forever Man" that may just be a top 10 hit if covered by the right artist. I hope you'll visit my page to check it out, along with "Back Into Your Life" and "Killing Time in Tokyonesia." Keep up the great work and take care always.
P.S. - Don't let my inflated play counts throw you. I seem to be big with the "OK, I'll listen to your stuff for free" crowd overseas. :)
