After an insightful and inspiring tour, Nick teamed up with John Hamilton (drummer for Mobile, Alabama band “Peek”) to record several revised versions of songs off of his 2006 debut album “’Cause it’s True Love”.

The album carries emotion far beyond his years. In “How it Feels (to lose a friend)”, Nick tells what it’s like to lose a friend to suicide. “Breaking the Heart in” delves into the lack of understanding he has for love. In “That Life”, he explains how he will not conform into society’s flaws. The EP is the 3rd album he has released during high school years and is a turning point in his career.
