NICKELUS F : THE MOTIONS (MUSIC VIDEO)
Jared icarus has been producing music for the past 10 years and songwriting for 14, with influences ranging from Calypso, Hip-Hop and Indie Rock. He started as a rapper/r&b singer/songwriter then ventured into the world of Rock & Roll lead singing in an 80's rock and hip-hop band. He has worked for the likes of Teddy Riley, The Neptunes, Fam-Lay (StarTrak Records), Deonte Flamenco by way of Shae of N.E.R.D,Thelma Guyton (former Bad Boy recording artist) and B.E.T's Freestyle Friday Hall of Famer Nickel-Us F. formerly known as Nick Fury. At one time almost being signed to Def Jam while in his production team Jadalan (pronounced JAY-DAH-LIN) aided by Magoo (Timbaland's right hand man) it seemed like all the years of hardwork were finally going to pay off. Many broken promises and near misses later he's still going strong. Now, no longer with Jadalan (but still carrying on the name), a prospering clothing company (...icarus clothing) and a straight-forward no B.S. type of attitude it seems like things will fall soon into place for this 25 year young man hailing from Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
"I believe if i continue to surround myself with talented people, and continue to achieve all of my goals and dreams, I'm destined to get my shine, and if I don't so be it, I will be able to be satisfied knowing I had no regrets." -Jared icarus
"True ease in writing comes from art, not chance,
As those move easiest who have learn'd to dance."-Alexander Pope
Blue eyes, Dimples, and Freckles get me everytime.
"In these times of instant media, And over saturation of data, Art is no longer the depiction of events, But rather a reawakening of the senses..."-ME
"When I am, as it were, completely myself, entirely alone, and of good cheer - say traveling in a carriage, or walking after a good meal, or during the night when I cannot sleep; it is on such occasions that my ideas flow best and most abundantly. Whence and how they come, I know not; nor can I force them. Those ideas that please me I retain in memory, and am accustomed, as I have been told, to hum them to myself." "All this fires my soul, and provided I am not disturbed, my subject enlarges itself, becomes methodized and defined, and the whole, though it be long, stands almost completed and finished in my mind, so that I can survey it, like a fine picture or a beautiful statue, at a glance. Nor do I hear in my imagination the parts successively, but I hear them, as it were, all at once. What a delight this is I cannot tell! All this inventing, this producing takes place in a pleasing lively dream. Still the actual hearing of the toutensemble is after all the best. What has been thus produced I do not easily forget, and this is perhaps the best gift I have my Divine Maker to thank for." - WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART
