When Nick Blount pushed his parents to enroll him at Davidson Fine Arts Magnet School in Augusta, GA at the age of 11, family and friends doubted that his passion for piano would become much more than a passing phase. Nearly 20 years later, Nicks passion for music and inheritance of a third-generation gift for the keys has paved the way for a small-town musician and Pastors kid to a concrete career as a professional musician. Nicholas Blounts track record as an experienced producer, songwriter, and professional musician boasts an impressive lineup of Grammy-winning artists and legendary musicians such as Esperanza Spaulding, Karen Clark Sheard, Andraé Crouch, Byron Cage, George Duke, and Sheila E.

After being nominated for Georgias Governors Honors Program, Nicholas broke away from those small-town limits to study Professional Music at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. He trained with accomplished instructors like Dennis Montgomery and Jetro DaSilva, and played for countless concerts and ensembles, furthering his proficiency in Contemporary, Jazz, Funk, R&B, Neo-soul, and Gospel styles of piano and organ.
