*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.

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!

As reported on urbanamore.com by Tashia Richards
Whenever me think of great Canadian music we always think of all the talent in Toronto but never think about the other hard working artist making noise in their provinces.
Leila is a singing dynamo from Montreal, Quebec that is making noise with successful singles in both English and French.
You maybe more famiilar with her than you think. Her song “Move” was on MTV’s Real World Brooklyn and “Push Me Away” was played on MTV’s Taking the Stage.
Check out her phone interview with UrbanAmore.com and her experience as both a french and english recording artist.
