   About Nick Z

Nick Z is a soulful singer-songwriter, born and raised in the sunswept suburbs of San Diego. He was raised on the old-school vinyl sounds of Marvin, Al and the young Michael J. He learned the licks and started singing in the inspired fits of his college career.

Nick Z migrated north to the Bay Area, where he hooked up with his best friend since 10th grade, singer-songwriter Nick Marcotte. They have been writing songs together since 2002 and continue to do so. Nick Z performs at local OMC spots around the Bay Area.

Hey Nick, the album is coming along pretty slowly. Mostly because my wife is going to have a baby in a couple of months, so I haven't had as much time to work on it. Hopefully it'll be done early next year. Thanks for asking. See you around.

Dude... "Valerie" is awesome! Who wrote it-you are Marcotte? Either way, I think your performance is perfect. I've watched your music evolve from the very beginning in HS, and I think I can finally say, "Nick, you've found your sound". Congratulations.
