Nick Jay has written songs since he picked up his first ever guitar. He say's "I just like writing music, I mainly write it for myself and if other people like it then that just a bonus!" Nick has written songs for other people, the latest completed one is called 'Ode To A Lost Child' and was recorded for the NSPCC. Please also check out www.nickjay.co.uk for more info.
