*Hey Nick, thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to answer some questions and tell the world about yourself. With that said, why don’t you tell us a little about yourself, where you’re from, how you got to the point you’re at now. *
I am a 23 year old entrepreneur who grew up in Montreal, Canada and spent a part of my childhood in Houston, Texas. I began composing music for kid’s albums at the age of 11 and had my first published album soon after. Some of my friends and I formed a group called N.B.A and when I was 17 we landed a deal and an opening spot on Rhianna’s first ever Canadian tour. As much as the spotlight appealed to me, it was the behind the scenes action that truly caught my eye. At 19 I decided to retire from performing and obtain an education in Entertainment Management and Copyright Law at Trebas Institute.

Music’s Secret New Music Model?

Hey everyone it’s Nick. I want to share something special with you directly so I am writing my very first blog post! When CARAS called me the “poster child for a new business model”, the 360 model they were referring to was a wild concept… Today it is the industry standard. This made me say that it is about time to create a better model than 360: something that is infinite!
Rather than sit in the confines and laurels of a sloppy model that is dated today, I have decided to adapt and create a very special new business model for the music industry that will change everything and monetize the hard work and love we all put into this industry for artists and administrators alike. Soon I will share it with you!

Until then check out this amazing video about the social media revolution! Click the link below to watch!

Q&A with co- producer Nick Jarjour about the record:Jacynthe – Change

How the record  with Jacynthe came about:

It was old guitar track version by Tino that I sampled and got the Co-Production credit with Tino on. One of my mentor’s Bob Telaro placed it with Jacynthe (Universal Music) It was in a place Bob knows I refer to as the “Oil Feild ” I cut the record and a few months later it is getting heavy rotation in Germany and forecasting a huge North American comeback for her.

What is the background on the record:

Working on the Leila English album in early 08 I suggested to Tino the idea of sampling some of his stuff as he would later do with some of mine ( Leila – Move)

When I first heard the record it was an acoustic gutar and Tino singing ,within 5 seconds I told Bob that was the record.
