From his successful 10-year career as electric guitarist and lead songwriter in established band, Vertical Rush, Nick’s musical concerns have always involved tender melodies, drama and affection. Gifted as both a singer and songwriter, Nick’s music has spanned the region, having played to audiences in Phillipines, Malaysia and Indonesia.
Armed with a diploma in music performance from Lasalle College of the arts, majoring in guitar, Nick has produced a body of work spanning 2 full-length albums with Vertical Rush, and of late, a self-released full-length solo album featuring his own brand of urban indie-folk music. Be it his songwriting work with Vertical Rush, or his solo material, audiences have always gravitated towards his ability to build affinity with a wide variety of individuals, through accessible and relevant music.
Born into a single-parent family, and bred in the working-class suburbs of Choa Chu Kang, a consistent theme in Nick’s music has always been one of grounded thought and reflection on what it means to be human in this accelerated world we live in. Despite his internal struggles, his search has always been about trying to look deeper within oneself, and learning to live the best way possible.
What sets him apart as an artist in Singapore is his commitment to his craft, parallel to his desire in nurturing young musical talents. Currently a full-time music teacher and practicing musician, he devotes a large part of his day towards developing and honing the creative spirit that lies in everyone who crosses his path.
Represented by creative management company, 29 Cornflakes, Nick is presently busying himself with the tricky balancing act of teaching and setting aside time to write more original material.
