    looking back and forward

    So 2010 was a amazing, I have been so humbled by the amount of support and love that I have gotten from so many people this year and I hope I can give way more back next year. This year I released my first album to a great response around the world, worked with a ton of great artists, wrote a lot of tunes and had tons of fun. Here are some fun videos from this year of some various gigs that happened:

    So for 2011 look out for much more from the Bardot Sessios, we getting bigger every week. I also will be starting two new residencies a late night jazz series (2-4am) and a very exclusive private house concert series in the Hollywood Hills featuring the best original music from all styles. I also will be producing some great artists this year and it looks like Ill be doing even more writing with a ton of amazing people. I also will be working on a European tour with Joey Dosik, as well as developing our duo project, and Marcel and I will continue to work on our TV show. Lastly, I’m gonna run the LA marathon this year and I feel that this is the year to break down a lot of my walls and really experience life to its fullest, I want to appreciate all aspects of my life even more and cherish all the amazing people in my life. I hope to become the type of person that can create value in every situation that I am placed in and always be able to give back to all the amazing people in my life every day.

    Hope to see you all soon,

    peace,

    Nick
