Tell me about your self Nick,

 

Hello, I'm Nick. Im 22 years old, currently finishing my degree in London, studying Digital Film Production. I live for music and film.

 

and of your new band?

 

The New Coast, is made up of myself and my long time friend Chris Cheater. We share a deep love of cinema and pop music, so decided to create something that would make us the happiest.

 

 

How long has music been apart of your life?

 

Music has been apart of my life since I was little really. My dad would take me to shows as a boy, which was an experience being introduced to rock n roll at that age. I grew up listening to Roxy Music and Morrissey, but also people like Whitney and MJ. So my music taste is eclectic, but not gonna lie...I have a soft spot for massive choruses with a strong swing beat. They are so infectious and just makes the world feel nice. haha.

 

You’ve recently singed a contract for The New Coast right? That’s exciting, how’s that going?

 

Yeah, recently signed with a label called LAB. We are just so grateful to even have the opportunity to release something off a label, when we haven't even had a song out yet! I think that's kind of unheard of! But LAB are really great people, and we can't wait to get the music out there.

 

You’re at uni studying film right? Paired with music these are two very creative but different avenues; which do you see yourself perusing, if either?

 

Its funny you should say that, because even though film and music are different ways of expression, I think they come as a couple. They marry well in terms of creativity, and without a visual, I need the song, and without the audio, I need something to watch. It becomes a paradox. I love both so much, but music will always be dear to me. It's timeless, and we try to create that sound in our songs.

 

How difficult do you find studying whilst perusing music?

 

At the moment, I'm just about to start making my grad film. So a lot of work is going into that. But, I think both creative outlets are something I want to do. So the time management becomes simple. I think if you want to reach a certain goal, or get to a certain place in your life/career, you just have to put the time and effort in, no matter how tired or fed up you are. So yeah, studying and music are ok to pursue together! As long as you don't mind getting your hands dirty.
