הרשׁלـצויּ
was
born in DeLand, Florida. At age 4 he began classical piano
lessons, releasing a passion for music which has carried him to many stages.
But it
wasn't until he dusted off his dad's old archtop that an even deeper love was
born. Now, twelve years after he began teaching himself guitar, Nick
is endorsed by First Act Guitars, Inc. His band continues to tour
the Southeastern US and has received tons of positive press (check out the
"EPK" page). With a large catalogue of original songs, film scores, and
compositions, Nick continues to live
& breathe music. Writing and
performing all his life, he is
a lover of nature and
the Blues: "I've played everything and I always came back to the Blues." Active in
regional and national organizations like ONE, Nick
advocates environmental protection and awareness. His first album, Ripple, is about growth, perspective
and metamorphosis. |

The full band attack, Nick's weapon
of choice, is something to behold. Fiery guitars tame the spirited songs while
bass and drums lay tight, funky grooves. Fans
of the acoustic version have compared Nick's voice to Jackson Browne,
captivated as he transforms his Blues war into peaceful ballads.

Nick attributes his
unique vocal melodies to recanting prayers in the synagogue and reading Torah.
"Melodies of ancient Hebrew prayer, with their harmonic minors and Phrygian
scales, are at once beautiful and haunting and definitely impacted my sense of
harmony." |

|
Nick has taught private & group
music lessons for all ages and continues to do so via Atlanta-based
Lessons In Your Home. He
has also taught Hebrew and Judaics and appears as an extra in multiple
scenes of the Warner Bros. movie We Are Marshall.
Other theatrical ventures include playing in the orchestra pit of a
Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat production in 2005 & 2007.
He is available
for freelance work and is a regular sit-in with The Moody Jews band.
