Drawing from his vocal and ukulele training, Nick's innate musicality led him to master the piano, ukulele, and bass. He's graced stages statewide, both as a solo artist and as the lead guitarist and vocalist for his band Five2. Collaborations with local icons like Brother Noland and Makana have further enriched his musical journey.
