Nick is a Yukon-based, Canadian composer, teacher, producer and conductor with a deep passion and love for the arts, with an extra soft spot for choral music. Having studied music composition and choral conducting at the University of Calgary, and Berklee College of Music, Nick has been fortunate and grateful to have worked with, and actively learn from inspiring composers, performers, and ensembles around the world. Nick happily devotes his professional music career to curiously explore how music and creative self-expression connects us all, heals us, and is a catalyst to empower us to overcome limitations and adversity. Nick's quest for a better world through music, has taken him to teach, adjudicate, learn, and have his works performed across the Americas and beyond. As a choral composer, Nick has been honoured to lead choirs at international festivals and competitions around the world, where lifelong memories and bonds have been created thanks to the power of collective singing. Nick is a doggy-dad of two little dogs, that accompany him across his many adventures in nature, seeking that next inspiration... or, while he writes music under the Northern Lights in his remote home in Canada's Yukon.
