Nick teamed up with Thomas Bergersen in 2006 and together they created the epic powerhouse Two Steps From Hell. Nick’s orchestral style is complementary to what Thomas does. Nick feels like partnering with Thomas has elevated his craft. Listen through any of the albums, including the newly released “Myth” and the differences and congruences are evident.

His new solo rock album entitled “Wide World” is currently climbing the Billboard charts in the USA.
