My name is Nick. I am a rock n roller and music industry mogul. I have my own rock and punk new media company called MegaPlatinum Entertainment. You can hear and learn more by clicking on the MegaPlatinum link in my top 24. I play numerous musical instruments, engineered and produced live and in studio for hundreds of bands, have received critical acclaim in international music publications, and my video editing and audio sync work has appeared on DVDs such as the 4x platinum selling Kissology series. I am also an concert event producer/promoter and internet 2.0 specialist/technical guru. When it comes to rock n roll, I do it all, and I never do anything by halves.
I'm currently residing in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I have a loft with my cat Charlie "Watts" Vivid, a private rehearsal and recording studio, a lava lamp, a sizeable music collection, and plenty of books on spirituality. Williamsburg is the center of the indie rock movement at the moment. I've always dreamed to be in the center of a music, art, and culture scene, but I wish to God it hadn't been this one.
I have a great love for larger than life icons, and get very excited by soul driven extreme art and music that reaches to the higher realms. I try to live with principles beyond my means, ever hoping to create a glimpse of the impossible within my current reality. And, to balance out all this seriousness, I like some absurdity in my life to keep my sense of humor alive, which, as it turns out, I get plenty of.
In a past life, I was possibly a bridge builder, or perhaps jimi hendrix.
Who I'd like to meet:
anyone who isn't afraid to shamelessly flaunt their true inner beauty...
This Saturday Night... my band Midnight Fistfight teams up with Girls Girls Girls to bring the baddest show in NYC to the Mercury Lounge. Get your tix now on Ticketmaster! Hope to see you at the show... we hit the stage at 9:30.
