J is the inital of my first name. Nic is my middle name, what everyone calls me. And Gardner is my family name.

No. I only make beats.

It makes it easier for up-and-coming artists, producers, and musicians to get discovered and spread there music rather than waiting for a major label to come knocking on your door.

Heck yes.
In the last question, I said tt's fustrating to get a label's attention, but that doesn't mean I'll completely rule anything out. I need to get paid. =]

Life in general. Anything beautiful that happens or anything terrible that happens influences the next song I make. Every song I hear, good or bad, has input on the type of song I make next. But other than that, Bjork is my major musical influence. She is undescribable. Ayumi Hamasaki, Utada Hikaru, and a lot of other muscians. There are too many to mention.

Atlanta! My hometown. That, and Tokyo are the best cities in the world, if you ask a tech geek like me. =]

I arrange and sequence everything in FL Studio. I'm trying to go outside of the 'Fruityloops' box though.
