Growing up in a peaceful neighborhood in Berlin, Nick sought a little more thrill in life. Initially coming to Japan to study, he eventually pursued becoming a writer. Most days he's outside exploring the city or enjoying the seasonal flowers in a nearby park. When the evening sets in, he can be found at rock lives, making friends at parties or jamming at the next dance practice.
