I Heart Music

About Me

I was born and raised in beautiful town called Northvale, New Jersey. My parents raised me on a wide varitey of hip music. My favorties were Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Stevie Wonder and Elvis Presley, just to name a few.I began to play music when I was 5 years old; however I always preferred listening to records. That all changed when I was given a guitar for my 13th birthday. Now I was able to play along with these records. I also started to play out in public; singing and wailing on my six-string.My mother moved my family and I up the Berkshire Mountains in Western Massachusetts when I was 16. That same year, I bought my first bass guitar. This instrument is so hip! I quickly began gigging with whomever would have me.When I was 19, I moved out to Boston and began studying at Berklee College of Music. This school is the most ! I had the opportunity to study with Jim Stinett, David Clark & Danny Morris. I also had the opportunity to play with some of the most talented musicians I have ever heard.A couple years later I flew down to Memphis, Tennesse. This town is hip ! There was music everywhere! I began playing at a few clubs on "World Famous Beale Street" After a few months, however, being away from my family took toll on my smile and I came back to the Berkshires. There I began to write stories of all of my adventures.Now I am 25 years old, I have since moved back to Boston. I have recently finished recording an album, and will now begin playing out. I look forward to meeting all of you!Thank you for your time.Much Love,Nicholas music layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com
