Description: John Nicole's music is an eclectic voyage through the Sixties with bold but sensitive lyrics which energize the spirit of the heart.
Biography: Born in Fort Lauderdale, Fl, in 1949, John Nicole spent much of his early youth playing at the beaches in southern Florida, enjoying fresh air and sunshine, fishing, driving fast, acting in local and regional theater, working in films, such as “The Eight Daffodil,” produced by Burt Reynolds. John attended Palm Beach College years while acting for a number of regional theaters and playing in a rock during weeknights. John formed a band and played drums for “The Electric Harpoons, “the opening band for Florida’s first official Love In.” While he started his professional career in music by playing drums, much earlier in his life he studied guitar (on an “Elvis” guitar), and began improvising tunes on his grandmother’s grand piano. During college became friends with Burt Reynolds who had once gone to the same school as John. Reynolds offered to help finance John’s continued training in art of acting. John moved to New York City to study at the prestigious American Academy of Dramatic Arts. For a brief time, John was managed by the William Morris Agency performed in a few off-Broadway musicals and plays. During his time in New York, he began a series of informal and experimental recording sessions which led to a collection of early work titled, “What Truth Is There To Being?” which is now being considered by John as a future release. John’s unique style and eclectic array of genres, sounds, spaces and tone, have led to the success of his most recent CD entitled “Breathing You.”
Press Release: JOHN NICOLE RELEASES NEW CD, “BREATHING YOU” "John Nicole is a man with an extremely well-honed voice and incredibly deep lyrics,” Internet DJ Zack Daggy recently wrote in one of the first reviews of Nicole’s new album of mostly original songs entitled: “Breathing You.” Daggy went on to describe Nicole’s voice as a “rich smooth-toned voice with a nearly-Bono quality. “One of the songs -- Happy Life -- is a mind-blowing and utterly amazing song on his album that deserves to be on the airwaves, the silver screen and your iPod,” Daggy continued. “The vocals soar to incredible heights as John's rich tones and Laura Baron's silky smooth voice complement each other perfectly. This and the deeply moving lyrics easily make this not only the best song off of this album, but also quite possibly one of the best songs of the year!" Another reviewer, Allen Sale, describes Nicole as a throwback to the 60s and 70s. “Nicole presents an eclectic, (if not interesting), mix with his new album,” he explained. “The arrangements are inventive in most cases showing that John Nicole has an ear for instrumentation.” Sale believes there’s something for everyone to enjoy on Nicole’s Breathing You. “It isn't often you get to hear decent guitar, clarinet, piano, or violin on the same record,” Sale explained. “There is love, heartbreak, and enthusiasm all wrapped up in a 17 song package which you should check out."
