"One man, One mind, One guitar" - Sex & Therapy is a solo-acoustic project by Nik Vischschraper, in which he aims to express his deep and powerful lyrics through guitar. The acoustic guitar may not be the most skilled, the vocals may not be the sweetest sound, but the words spoken by Nik are what count. From life experiences, bottled up emotions, and friends, to issues beyond that of a simple teenager's grasp, Nik aims to let it all out with his music. Written in the late hours of the night, his lyrics are not put to the mic until Nik believes they are the best possible way he can express what he wants to be said. Truth be told, he's just telling the truth. For three years now, Nik has been messing around with a classical guitar. His parents bought him his first electric guitar for Christmas, a Squier Affinity Strat, by Fender. After finding an old, beaten up, 12-string acoustic guitar to raise his collection to three, Nik decided it was time to purchase an acoustic guitar. With money saved up, he bought his Ibanez Talman TCM50 acoustic electric, which he uses currently. During the years, through a lot of fiddling around and experimentation with chords, Nik has been able to come up with some tunes and riffs to base his lyrics on. Sex & Therapy aims to add a second dimension to this music, by adding in separate riffs, vocals, and effect. It is always a work in progress, and Nik is always looking for ways to improve. Furthermore, S&T has now evolved into an indie band, featuring support from Nik's close friend Justin Sarrasin on guitars, and Stephen Swift on percussion. Through adding in acoustic support, electric leads, or back-up harmonies and vocals, Justin adds a further dimension to S&T's already unique sound. Stephen lays down the beats in order to had that extra punch to S&T's tunes. The act can also feature the addition of keys to help expand the creations of Sex & Therapy. Folks, we all need Sex & Therapy. Sex & Therapy is: Nik Vischschraper - Guitars, Vocals Justin Sarrasin - Guitars Stephen Swift - Percussion
