He has worked on the orchestration team with the New York City Center Youth Symphony Orchestra, is the cofounder of Musical Theatre Fight Club, and is the music associate and copyist for several shows heading to Broadway and the West End in the coming years. Prior to Berklee, he was the producing artistic director at The Strand Theater, worked as an investment research analyst at a wealth management firm, was the music correspondent on an Emmy-nominated television series, and played hundreds of shows at a dueling piano bar. He is a graduate of Kenyon College with degrees in economics and law. 

Nick’s advice for applying to Berklee NYC:

“My time in the classroom at Berklee NYC made me a better songwriter, lyricist, composer, designer, and collaborator. As a working artist in New York City, I am keenly aware that I would not be working on the high-caliber projects that I am today without the skills and connections that Berklee afforded me. So, when applying, show us who you truly are as an artist, and tell us where you’d like to go. Berklee NYC will get you there.”
