Abstract
A five-track EP serves as the basis of his Culminating Experience. Through extensive coursework in the music business, recording engineering, mixing, and songwriting, Nicholas was able to craft a body of work that successfully represented a unique and cohesive sound that takes a framework of alternative rock and fuses it with lush harmonies, expansive string and synth instrumentation, and a dynamic vocal performance to make a sound all his own. He was able to navigate through several expected and unexpected challenges in the program like moving to a new city and adapting to the rigorous cadence of the coursework. He plans to release three singles over the course of the next 4 months following his graduation, leading up to the release of his full EP in early December. Moving forward, Nicholas feels ready to embark on a career in music as a songwriter and producer, both for his own artist project and for collaborations with others.
