About Me

Nicky Powel, Born in Aberdeen Scotland may 4th 1981, Had a fun old time growing up....Then Joined the Marines in 1999. Served all over the world for just over 6 years and in 2004 i started writing songs and playing in a few bands. I finally finished with the Marines in September 2005, had an "interesting" time and I'll defo miss the laugh with the Lads!!! I Moved to Glasgow in 2006 and formed a band called "Hurricanebutterfly" in early 2007. The band never toured but had great success with there first E.P "Strange New Light". The band gigged around Scotland and had a great time, then we headed for the studio for a follow-up E-P, but in early 2008 the band became no more. being the songwriter for the band i have now taken on a new role as a solo artist, and will be delivering a new E.P shortly and will be aiming of gigging around summer time......Watch This Space....
