Nick received the prestigious Performing Artist Grant for Songwriting in 2019 from the Sierra Arts Foundation. He was also selected to be part of the exclusive Ben Folds Songwriter Retreat in 2021 with mentors Ben Folds and Dave Stroud.

The Kingwhistler concept came to Nick upon moving from the East coast to the West in 2009. It was then that he decided to direct all of his creative energy into this sound and style. Nick joined up with Ben Perry to produce the first KW Single, "Holiday Homeward," and finding success, the two decided to continue working together. Nick staged the "Grass Routes Campaign" in 2012 to raise the funds for the debut Kingwhistler album, and after assembling a team of fine musicians tracked and released "Grass Routes" with Perry at the helm of the Mix.

"Grass Routes", the debut Kingwhistler album, was released June 20, 2014 and drew acclaim from industry professionals and music publications like the Modern Rock Review. Nick released the single “Jacaranda" in 2020 and the single “Two by Two” in 2021. Keep a lookout for a new EP from Kingwhistler coming in 2022.
