Nick Jago was born on July 19, 1976, in Abadan, Iran. He is of British and Peruvian origin. His father is from England and his mother is from Peru. Growing up in Iran, Peru, Argentina, Venezuela, and England, he eventually left England to be with his family after they relocated to California in 1996. Prior to his leaving, Nick studied Fine Arts at Winchester School Of Art, hoping to become a painter.
After meeting Peter Hayes and Robert Been upon his arrival in the States, Nick switched his focus from painting to music, helping form the later internationally successful band, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. As the drummer for the band, Nick toured around the world for several years after B.R.M.C. left the San Francisco Bay Area for Los Angeles all to quickly attract the interest of a few record labels. The band later went on to tour with a collection of high profile musicians such as the members of U2, The Rolling Stones, and Neil Young.
In 2007, Nick started his own musical project. He is exploring moods, styles, eras and cultures.
