My Words:
Music is my business. I try to live each day without regret. Sometimes it's hard not fitting into the cookie cutter notion of what a grown man should be and how he should eek out his living. However, waking up each morning excited, vibrant and ready for the world means so much more than anything else to me right now. I feel it's important that we not kid ourselves as humans. We only have so long on this forsaken planet, so why live it doing things you aren't passionate about? I try to always put God first and spend time with family and friends as much as possible. I am far from perfect, but each day I exist...I attempt to improve myself little by little, hoping one day to be somebody that God would be proud of.
Traditional Bio:
From vinyl manipulation on the turntables, to current production of jazz infused hiphop tracks, Crowd Control Records CEO, NickNack is a true soundcraftsman. His musical journey began in the late 80's after making the transition from hiphop spectator to participant. Cutting his teeth from the very beginning as a young appreciative turntablist knocking off rivals at Dallas' Sound Wars battles in the mid-nineties, Nick has worked hard to encompass a broad vision of ability, and a verbose sense of instrumentality, to match his already fruitful passion for music.
These days you can find Nick performing/touring with the jazz band BLAZE, or hear him rocking dance floors at various downtown clubs. Most recently, Nick has been enjoying the success of his latest full length release, "Improving Silence". The record has garnered him international attention and sales have been phenomenal. His progression as an artist and deejay is quite obvious, but his job is never done. Always in exploration of advancing his full turntablist potentials, and with countless projects on the horizon, Nick has grown into a unique artist, in a constant search of endeavors new and improved. Stay tuned, because this is only the beginning.
