About Me

Nicholas Hope is an up and coming solo artist hailing from Long Island, New York but transplanted in Passaic County, New Jersey. Nick, 18, has one goal, to touch people with his lyrics. Through the loss of family members and a best friend, Nick has experienced emotion that he pours straight into his music. Nick has played with many different bands and has toured the country and parts of Canada but he felt he wasn't in control of his music. With a good number of hometown shows under his belt he feels as if he is ready to take the next step in this journey. Watch out for Nick in 2007 as he is a recent addition to the Photo Finish Records line up. His debut full length "Love's Labour's Lost" is due out April 2007.
**NOTE**: If I Friend Request You It Means I Do Want To Talk To You, If I Don't Get To You Soon, I Promise I Will, I Currently Work 2 Jobs And I Am Also Recording My Debut Label Release But I Promise I'll Stop By And Say Hi!
