Nick has been involved in a variety of cover and original groups in the past and present including the prog/rock group Deep Rising. Over time he found himself with a group of songs that defy Genre and did not really fit into the Deep Rising lexicon. Still he felt these songs should see the light of day and in 2006, 2007 they finally did on his first solo cd Wandering Time. Sections of 4 of these songs were conceived back in the 90's and during the WT sessions they were finally completed. Presently Nick is working with Deep Rising on what he believes is their finest project to date. During these sessions more songs for a second solo cd have been conceived and will be released some time next year.
