| Nicolas is a 30 year-old
singer songwriter based in Montreal, Quebec. He grew up
surrounded with classical music and started discovering
his love for this art as soon as his mouth could produce
an organized sound. At 5 mom pushed him to take up violin
lessons. He was more attracted by the teacher's hair than
the instrument, so by age 7 he moved on to piano and
started theory classes. Classical
was not his thing though. This truth hit him like
lightning when he was introduced to pop music at age 14.
For fours years he would discover the sound of modern
recording techniques and dabble in sound editing with two
tapes and some cheap stuff from Radio Shack. At 16 it's
back to piano lessons with a pop music teacher were the
beauty of chords swept him off his feet and sent him in a
lifetime of exploration. Early
20s were spent learning studio equipment, photography,
endless writing and finally taking voice lessons to
master what must be the hardest instrument, the voice. On
the side, he became a radio mc, a filmwriter and a sound
editor for both tv and film. At 24, he stepped on stage
for a short series of small shows and quite enjoyed
himself. His first demo was released 3 years later, a
collection of odd songs called "different" and
relating the experience of growing up a gay male and
defining life as an outcast. Success was not to be for
this hastily put together recording. The following year, Nicolas takes 3 months off
and records "romantiquement douteux" a new set
of tunes questioning the importance of love in a balanced
life. This time around the cd was a lot more successfull
than anticipated. Three tracks made it to #1 in their
respective genres on mp3.com and won airplay on radios,
fan mail started pouring in as well as offers to write
music for established artists. Nicolas is presently writing with a publisher
and planning the recording of his next collection of
songs. You can hear his music and buy his cd at this website: http://www.mp3.com/NicolasMcComber Nicolas also has a personal website, mostly in french, at this address: http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/6016/ |
