Nick’s passion for the arts originated from a very early age. After excelling at The National School of Arts and completing a Bachelor of Technology Diploma at WITS, Nick’s passion for music began to blossom.

 

Nick’s continuous involvement with well-known bands such as 16Stitch, Seether and most recently: Newtown KNIFE Gang, have made him one of South Africa’s most skilled and respected drummers.

 

He has worked with, and learnt intensively from international Producers, including the likes of Jay Baumgardiner (No Doubt, Evanescence, Run DMC, Alien Ant Farm, Creed) and Ulrich Wild (Slipknot, Pantera, Taproot), who have also proven to strengthen his skillset.

 

Concentrating on Vocal Performance and Production, his innate attention to detail has made Nick one of the most sought after Vocal Producers in the industry. He has mastered the art of “Melody and Vocal performance” on multiple albums, allowing him to bring a different angle to the song-writing process.

 

His extensive career has included playing shows in Europe and the United States, as well as headlined many major South African festivals, including Woodstock, Oppikoppi, Ramfest, Synergy, Splashy Fen, Rocking the Gardens and MK’s “By die Dam” which has given him the opportunity to share the stage with The Prodigy, Sum 41,Blindside, In Flames, Funeral For A Friend, Alkaline Trio, Trivium, Biffy Clyro, The Foals and Danko Jones.
