Nick Flavell was born and raised in London. His parents were both fans of music and Nick as a toddler loved nothing more than sitting on the floor listening to his parents Beatles, Lou Reed and Who albums. As he grew older many noticed Nicks ever-improving creative talents, particularly when it came to music and drawing. At school Nick was hand picked to appear on a popular children’s TV program, in which the young Nick helped a small group of other students paint a large and impressive mural based on the Star Wars trilogy. .... Flavells interest in comic art and graphic design always stayed with him and he spent much time with his best friends drawing his favourite comic heroes. After gaining an A+ in Art, the young man decided to leave school and pursue his interest in music. Nick Flavell wrote and produced songs for the band Watercolours in the '90's (which is called by many the golden age of indie due to large number of independent, open-minded record labels that began to appear as a result of the free enterprise culture that flourished during that time). Within a short while the band grew from a four piece group to an impressive array of professionals, including a graphic designer, photographer, agent, sound engineer, manager and a healthy fan base. .... The band toured London extensively and were offered a recording/publishing deal within no time at all. The group were watched by various music journalists, who were more than impressed with the energy, originality and potential of the music. Nick continues to write and record his songs whenever he can and has built up a huge catalogue of song ideas. Nick Flavell studied Graphic design at London College of Printing where he gained a distinction in the first year. Flavell has been writing songs prolifically over the past three years and see's no reason not to continue! Near Death Experience On the night of November 29th 2006 Nick awoke with severe chest/stomach pains and he was promptly rushed to Hospital. .... After waiting around for hours in serious agony Flavell was told that the x-ray results had come in showing that he had a perforated stomach ulcer and had to be operated on straight away. After this traumatic near-death experience, Nick found that his song-writing abilities had improved dramatically and he seemed to have gained new creative powers.''

Hello Nick!
Your voice is baritone, has been very good for alternative music. Your sound is impressive. Is committed to leaving
her in the throat. Being in harmony with the sound of instruments. You can select the strongest issues. This ensures
you're strong. There are many years ahead of you. You need to emphasize the social and global issues. Important for
the world not to comment, it is important to change the world. You can make a significant contribution to music.

Pankras Steel 2011 - Nick's Music
“Congratulations Nick Ubreakble is very amazing, i'm so excited of it, i love so much Where Is The Sun, Siberia,
Snow Queen, I Still Believe, Mid Life Crysis are all potential hits, I imagine them all already arranged in Indie
Dance version, but always keeping the original sounds that are superlatives! in your way of making music i feel
influences in style by New Order, Blur, Beach Boys with a pinch of Ennio Morricone, Unbreakble reminds me Con Te
Partirò by Andrea Bocelli... really a wonderful work, Nick congratulations again!”
Adry West Cody - Unbreakable
“This piece(The Snow Queen) sounds as though it has been created in the 'etheral world' 'above' and therefore takes
us there as soon as you hear the very first notes...something 'special' about this...Phil Thornton's music I
believe was received from 'the other side' which is here around us all..in and around and above us...the warmth
of the tones grip one's very soul holding your attention and leaves you spellbound! This music could only come
from a very special creator who possibly has been linked to the 'etheral world' whilst deep in thought composing
the words and music..Phil Thornton, Jean Michelle Jarre, Runestone, Yuminale, Hynotrip and The Lost Highway have
that 'special' 'etheral' feel to it but this artist beats everyone up here not that it's competition...'Soul'
music in a 'different' style (coming from the soul)..many other pieces created by this artist have the same effect
on me and I would imagine the rest of whoever listens to it..great Film Music too...lovely!

Madame Herschel - Snow Queen
