| Nick in Valparaíso, Chile |
Nick G. joined us this past summer here in
Chile ( here in the Southern Hemisphere summer begins in December and lasts
till late March). From the moment he arrived until he left in April, Nick
generated a whirlwind of contagious creative energy. Nick was also one of the
most good-natured and positive students that we've ever had the pleasure to
work with. Nick would always have a kind word for everyone. His enthusiasm
extended into the Gym, working on Community Service Projects and learning
Spanish and making new friends. Nick is one of the musicians who we have worked
with who brings quality and integrity to the world of rap and hip-hop. Not
generally predisposed to producing rap music, we couldn't help but respect all
that Nick brings to his creations. Nick wasn't about posturing or making
himself out to be a suburban gangster. He is infatuated with words and loves
poetically putting them together. For the many people who have close to zero
tolerance of rap music, Nick's music could serve as proof that it's good to be
open minded.
Nick joined us after graduating from Montana
Academy. Before enrolling in Montana Academy, he had completed his wilderness
experience at True North in Vermont. During the time that Nick was with us in
Chile, he was always eager to collaborate with us on his projects and was
always open to our very different contributions. He ended up with hip-hop
creations that infused elements of Reggae, Jazz, Classical, Electronica, and
Jazz Fusion. The sample mixtape below illustrates Nick's bold lyrical talents
and his willingness to merge spoken word with all types of music.
Nick will be attending The University of New Haven
in New Haven, Connecticut this Fall.
