Bio:
Hatched from an egg in Everett Washington under an old rotted pinewood bridge, baby Nickolas was taken under and raised by a gang of trolls until he was reunited with his robot father at the age of four. Two years later Nickolas A. Walthew slowly picked up on the electronic music scene after experiencing the sensational melodies that came from Japanese game developer/music producer Yuzo Koshiro, who wrote not only the music for the Streets Of Rage trilogy, but the classic Shinobi games along with many other titles. It wasn't until 2004 that little 15 year old Nickolas stumbled upon a well known soft-sequencer titled Fruity Loops Studio 5. He had found his true love producing electronic music.
Nickolas sat at his old Windows Millenium desktop for hours upon hours making beats that were heavily inspired by such artists as Robot Kid, Inter:sect, Symbion Project, The Prodigy and The Crystal Method, while blowing away other things like an education, friends, family, and most importantly...food. Nickolas is a skinny skinny man due to his non-stop music writing and avid video game playing. Under the FL Studio producing alias '_Nickolas', he created a decent number of tracks but never unleashed them outside his hometown of Everett, nor did he play a single show as _Nickolas. The electronic music scene was dead in Everett, but Nickolas was eager to turn it all around somehow.
