About Me

I've been studying music for over 10 years now, both independently and through formal erudition. In 2005 I had a piece for string quartet performed by members of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra at LA City College. I have good arranging and compositional skills, so anyone looking for production work should hit me up. Also check out my folk music at www.myspace.com/nicholasking.
