ABOUT

How’s it going! My name is Nick and I’m a Professional musician of over 15 years as a sideman/hired gun, Producer-engineer, mixer, Songwriter, Music Director and former owner of multiplatinum award winning Five5 studios Tampa. Most recently I can be found mostly in the studio in central Florida as a recording engineer but before that I was the Music Director and lead guitarist for Season 20 The Voice runner up, Kenzie Wheeler. As his music director I arranged his live sets, formed his band of musicians from all over the country, and led them in rehearsals for tours and fly dates including the Grand Ol Opry and Wish Farms Stage, Strawberry Festival in central Florida. I’m always looking to get on stage with people I enjoy and even hit the road with them if the opportunity is available. Feel free to reach out if you have a need for a lead guitarist, rhythm guitarist, acoustic guitarist, or multi-instrumentalist.
