Later that same year, Nick joined the Long Beach Camerata Singers as a staff singer. In 2023, Nick was appointed Organist and Choirmaster at St. Mary of the Angels Anglican Church in Hollywood, CA, after serving four years as Bass Soloist under the direction of legendary LA-based organist and sacred music specialist Dr. James Vail. Nick’s most recent compositions for voice have been premiered by UCLA Chamber Singers, UCLA Chorale, Los Robles Master Chorale, Juxtatonal, All Saints’ Episcopal Church Palo Alto, mezzo-soprano Meagan Martin, soprano Michelle Rice, and Masterworks Chorale. When not musicking, Nick enjoys skateboarding, soccer, gardening, video games, and cooking for his girlfriend.
