About Me

NEW WRITE UP COMING SOON!!!!!!
Growing up in a very musical family, Nick Brigden was always interested in music. Learning how to play instruments, training his voice by attending vocal lessons and joining the local choir were just a few of the after school activities Nick participated in.
In high school, he found the performer in him by taking drama classes. He performed in major theatre productions including "The Sound of Music". "I would wait in anticipation for my scene to come up because I was so excited to be on the stage and entertain the sold out audiences we usually had."
During a conversation with Nick's cousin Simon Honeyman, Simon played an instrumental song on the guitar. Nick pulled out a piece of poetry he had written a few years before and soon the two were recording the song.
Years and many songs later 21 year old Nick has released his debut LP "Elgin at Elizabeth" on EAE Records. The album has already recieved great reviews.
"[It's like] an emotional journey filled with ups and downs [...] it greatly captures any emotion anyone has gone through." - The Bulletin.
"Full of energy and life, for an emo driven record" - Outaouais Express.
"Elgin at Elizabeth" is now available to purchase on iTunes and all your favourite download digital music providers.
His singles:
"Down The Line",
"Perfect Nightmare",
"My Regret",
and the new single
"Song For Yesterday"
are now being played on North American college radio.
