About Me

Nick Rose is a singer-songwriter living in Toronto. He grew up in the small, central Ontario town of Lindsay where he learned to play the violin at a young age. He also sang in church and at weddings where he made fifty bucks a pop no strings attached. In highschool he moved to the middle-east, where he taught himself to play the guitar and started writing songs. Upon returning to Canada Nick attended the University of Toronto and Ryerson University for history and acting respectively, but craftily eluded degrees in both. Now he sits in his living room writing and recording songs on his newly acquired eight-track thingamajig.
