old. As his musical interests expanded, Nick’s path led him to explore wind and percussion
instruments alongside his piano studies, and he began performing professionally on piano at age
14 at restaurants, venues, and private events in Long Beach. Nick’s passion and dedication to
music led him to complete a degree in Jazz Studies from UCLA’s Herb Alpert School of Music.
