You talk to Nik, and you can also tell he cut his teeth around a lot of skaters. Nik grew up skating. He took pictures of other people skating and, for a period, was a staff photographer for Thrasher magazine. While at Thrasher, Nik bought an antique piano from one of the higher-ups and taught himself how to play. This would probably be a good time to bring up Nik mostly plays everything on his own. He plays a lot of instruments, but it’s probably easier to say he simply plays, what…the studio? Somewhat overstated, but true all the same. So, Nik had made three progressively good to great records that no one really got to hear, then moved to our street.
