About Me

Nicholas is a graduate of the Howard University Music dpt with a degree in Classical Voice Performance. Like most singers, he began singing at the age of 3 in somebodys Baptist Church Choir somewhere in Indiana. Nicholas grew up in Phoenix, Arizona only singing to the Brandy posters on the walls of his bedroom. Later he realized that he wanted to sing for people. He attempted to sing in the 4th grade talent show but he ran off stage in tears! After years of stage fright he wanted to give it another try. Nicholas went to the Arizona school for the Arts were he studied music. After years of practice, tears and sloppy vocal runs Nicholas has finally built the courage and now you cant shut this boy up! Nicholas is the Praise and Worship leader for a youth and young adult ministry based in Brooklyn,New York called The Genesis. From Revelation to Revolution!!!
