WHO IS NICK GAIN?
A unique blend of "Classic" Rock and "Modern" Electronic Dance music!
Nick Gain comes from a rock background. Having played in the Eurovision Song Contest when he was 18, he was the first ever punk-rock act in the festival. Back then he toured different countries with his band "Anonymous" and got into the Spanish top40s charts.
Nick Composes, Produces and Mixes his own music and has a “Professional Music Production Certificate” and a “Masters in Music Business and Technology” granted by Berklee College of Music.
He decided to get into Electronic Dance Music when he was living in Barcelona to find a personal sound/identity to express his visions by mixing Rock & EDM: Nick Gain is the result.
“Born in the 80’s” is Nick’s first auto-produced EP. Five songs which have received work and help by top producers: Micky Forteza (Jarabe de Palo), Mike Marsh (Depeche Mode, Oasis, Prodigy, Chemical Brothers…) & Hal Ritson (The Young Punx, Black Eyed peas, David Guetta…).

"Working with Nick was a real pleasure. He's got a great bunch of tracks with real energy and excitement and a great sense of humour with his lyrics too! I was impressed with his sound as it is all self produced and engineered too. Well done Nick and keep up the great work!"

What´s new right now?
I have many songs which I have produced with my sound and looking for the moment to release them. I focus so much on creating and producing that I just don't find the time to market myself properly.
