Nick Burdette
My name is Nick Burdette and I've been involved with music since before I could talk. I write what I like to call Neoclassical Progressive Rock and have been doing so for roughly eight years.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
My name is Nick Burdette. I write music that I think is best classified as Neoclassical Progressive Rock. It's almost entirely instrumental. I have a long background in music starting officially when I began piano lessons when I was seven. After that I went into choir for a while, played in the orchistra (violin), tried out the trumpet, but moved on to the saxaphone. In later years I tried my hand at mallet percussion and that went over pretty well and took me to college on a small scholarship.
I started writting music as soon as I was old enough to reach the keyboard, though it was mostly the melodic equivelant of gibberish. The first song that appears on my album was originally written when I was twelve years old and re-written later.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I don't play live, mostly because I'd need a whole orchistra and I am just one man. I'd like to though.
Your musical influences
Mike Oldfield, Blue Man Group, Linkin Park, Evanescense....everyone else I've ever heard.
