BIO:

On Nicolas:

“He really is one of the best. He is talented, he is individual, he is smart, he is special, and he is an artist with an eye on the stories he tells and how he wants to tell them… He can be swinging, he can be crooning, he can be scatting, or he can just be standing at the mic, feeling his way through the tenderest, quietest ballad you’ve ever heard almost-whispered so sweetly, and there can always be a reasonable expectation of greatness. Whatever task he sets himself, he achieves.” – Stephen Mosher, Broadway World
