Bio:
At just 22 years of age, Nick has a wealth of experience and credits to his name.
Nick grew up in Johannesburg South Africa and spent his early music years learning on the bandstand, performing as a guest artist with some of South Africa's finest blues and rock musicians, as well as fronting his own originals, and function bands. When Nick was accepted at the Allenby College of Music in 2003, with the support of his folks, he left school at a very young age to complete a two year Diploma in Contemporary Music.
A big break came Nick's way when in 2006 he was invited to audition, and got the lead guitar part for the South African tour of We Will Rock You.
In 2007 Nick received a scholarship to study at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, USA. He spent a year studying at Berklee, which he then left to rejoin We Will Rock You for the 2008 Asia Tour.
After the tours completion, Nick decided to make the move to London, UK where he has been based for the last three and a half years. In this short space of time Nick has built a reputation as one of London's finest guitarists.
Nick's work in the UK has included touring as the lead guitarist for the stage adaptation of Quadrophenia, where he worked closely with Pete Townshend, performing with Brian May and Roger Taylor at the We Will Rock you 8th Anniversary in the West End where he has also been a regular dep since 2010, performing with various artists including, The Franks, Alex Vargas and Noush Skaugen, and now has his own part in the West End as the lead guitarist for the smash hit musical Rock of Ages.
When Nick isn't performing live he spends his time writing and recording at his home studio in North West London.
He is an extremely versatile guitarist as well as a strong singer and talented songwriter.
