About this user
Nick Howard is a British Singer/Songwriter who moved to New York six years ago to pursue a lifelong musical dream.
Through hard work, patience and a little bit of luck he first achieved mainstream success with his 2008 debut album 'Something To Talk About.' Songs from which have been featured in dozens of TV shows and films and received airplay across radio networks in the US and in Europe. In the three years since, Nick has toured with and supported artists such as Lifehouse, Boyce Avenue, Gavin DeGraw and Counting Crows.
Nick's follow up album, 'When The Lights Go Up' includes several tracks produced by Marshall Altman (Natasha Bedingfield, Matt Nathanson) and by acclaimed Nashville producer Dave Bechtel. He released the first single 'Falling For You' in February in the US and in Europe, the single breaking into European radio charts within its first week. MTV recently played the video for the first time on their show 'The Seven.' To support the release of his new album, Nick recently supported 'Lifehouse', 'Sunrise Avenue' and 'Boyce Avenue' playing sold out shows to tens of thousands of new fans in Europe. Nick's popularity across both continents has gained huge traction over the last 12 months and he is now embarking on several headlining tours of his own in 2011. 'When The Lights Go Up' will be released this Spring in Europe (through Ferryhouse/Warner) and this Autumn in the UK. Nick was recently the recipient of an ASCAP songwriting award for 'Days Like These', a track off the new album.
Described as 'honest, emotional, thoughtful, melodic and catchy' by some and 'music that will enter one ear with ease, but will have trouble leaving the other' by others, Nick draws on a wide range of musical influences and life experiences when writing and performing. He cites The Beatles as a lifelong musical inspiration and John Mayer, Jason Mraz, The Script, Oasis and Coldplay as constants in his 'Top 25 most played' iTunes playlist.
