Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The early fazes of Nick's musical experience started with a heavy metal, four person band. Even though striking instant success and contra verse media commentaries, the band is doomed to split due to lack of disciple of some members, and inadequate rehearsal space. Kontrapunkt, as the band was named by Nick himself, produced and performed music materials for 3 albums, but recorded only one. Nick decides to start a recording studio and discover and launch new musical talents. In 1992 Nick moved to Los Angeles and since then has been experimenting with electronica/dance music.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
"I used to play the bass guitar for my first (rock/heavy metal) band. We had weekly performances at local clubs. The sound was ear-popping loud. In does days (late 70's) people would get stoned or drunk fairly quickly and our performances would usually end up with a club-wide fight. I remember those days as ones of "true music experience"."
