MY AIM - JUMP9952 ....
I'M NICK. I WAS BORN JULY 22ND 1985. I GRADUATED FROM DIAMOND BAR HIGH SCHOOL IN 2003. MY MUSICAL JOURNEY BEGAN IN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL WHERE I LEARNED HOW TO PLAY THE SAXOPHONE AND HOW TO READ MUSIC. FROM THEN ON, I CONTINUED TO PROGRESS IN MUSIC AS MY KNOWLEDGE OF MUSIC INCREASED. I PERFORMED NUMEROUS MUSICAL PIECES IN MY SCHOOLS TOP MUSIC GROUP LIKE, THE WIND ENSEMBLE, PIT ORCHESTRA AND EVEN THE JAZZ ENSEMBLE. THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL AND FROM CSUF I STUDIED SOME MUSIC COURSES LIKE MUSIC THEORY, EAR TRAINING, DICTATION ... ETC. I PICKED UP BASS TOWARDS THE END OF HIGH SCHOOL AND APPLIED THE SAME FUNDAMENTALS OF MUSIC FROM SAXOPHONE TOWARDS THE BASS. I'VE PERFORMED AND RECORDED WITH MANY MUSIC GROUPS AS A BASSIST. I ATTENDED MUSICIANS INSTITUTE (MI) IN HOLLYWOOD, CA. I WAS IN THE BIT (BASS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY) PROGRAM AT MI, STUDYING WITH SOME OF THE BEST MUSICIANS AND BASSISTS IN THE WORLD. I GRADUATED FROM MI IN THE FALL OF 2007 AND I'M NOW PURSUING MY CAREER AS A PROFESSIONAL BASSIST; RECORDING AND PERFORMING ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH THE TOP MUSICIANS/ARTISTS IN THE WORLD. I AM ALSO A MUSIC TEACHER FOR SOMA MUSIC ACADEMY IN DIAMOND BAR AND THE MUSIC LEARNING CENTER IN BREA WHERE I TEACH BASS, SAX, PIANO, GUITAR, MUSIC THEORY AND EAR TRAINING. I'M CURRENTLY WORKING ON SOME MUSIC PROJECTS WITH A COUPLE OF BANDS AND PLAYING BASS FOR THEM. I LOVE MUSIC ... IT IS MY PASSION AND IT IS MY LIFE. I CAN'T IMAGINE DOING ANYTHING ELSE FOR A CAREER. IF YOU HAVE ANYMORE QUESTIONS OR JUST WANNA SAY HI, THEN SEND ME AN EMAIL. I'LL SEE YOU ON THE ROAD.
