Nick Kent, Oregon-born and Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist writes with raw emotion, holding nothing back in the process.

“I want my music to lift you up, bring you somewhere else, and take you for a ride.”

Raised on the Oregon coast as the oldest of three boys, Nick grew up surfing and singing. Dad introduced him to the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and The Kinks, and Mom encouraged him to develop his creativity. Later, Nick discovered The 1975, Harry Styles, and Jack Johnson on his own. By his eighth birthday, Nick began classical guitar lessons and eventually picked up piano too. However, the thought of writing his own music spoke to Nick more than anything else.

Nick enrolled in the University of Oregon and achieved his first taste of virality with a lip-syncing video. Each subsequent post boosted Nick’s profile as he gained over 1.3 million followers on TikTok. To pay the bills while he pursued his musical dream in LA, Nick signed to preeminent modelling agency Wilhemina.

Along the way, he carefully shaped his unique sound. “I want to unpack a lot of different feelings in untraditional ways,” he explains. “I’ll illustrate sadness through upbeat sounds. I follow my intuition and put a bit of myself in every song.”Nick Kent is now poised to bring pop into another realm with his relatable and real voice and lyrics.

“Hopefully, you sing along and connect an emotional bond with every song I sing.”
