Nick Wyard

About Me

Nick Wyard is a musician originally from Essex, England, now living in Toronto. Since the late 1980s he has worked professionally as a drummer in various bands, including his brother Greg's. He has long been composing original material - chiefly instrumental - and is now poised to release his debut work, aided by the talents of friends and fellow musicians who help bring to life the compositions and concepts he crafts. The samples you hear on this page are excerpts from works in progress from Nick's forthcoming album, which is planned for release in 2009. They are not mixed or mastered (and in some cases, not even finished!)
