Bio
Nickolas started playing guitar when he was 17 years old. Being a hobbyist, he took guitar in hopes to try a new art form.

He decided to change this and take a guitar class. He thoroughly enjoys guitar and loves to learn many new things about music. He continues to be creative in as many ways as he can.

My Song Intro
- Title: What Can I do?
- Genre and why it fits into that Genre: Acoustic Alternative, Elements of pop music are here, but not much within rock, so I believe it is Acoustic Alternative.
- Instrumentation: (Nick and Maya) on Vocals, (Jaclyn) on acoustic guitar, (Mia) on drums, (Casey) on piano, and (Cierra) on bass.
- Story behind the Song: The story takes place behind the perspective of a family, but one of the members has cancer. It shows the kinds of hardships that can come from not just the patient, but the people who know the person.
