Nico is a Composer.Born and bred in Yorkshire, and yet still claiming an Italian heritage, Nico is a super-breed known as Yorkshire-Italian. He also really likes drinking tea.Though primarily taught in piano and guitar, the magical wonders of the internet (coupled with a mac and a midi-keyboard) have allowed him to pass off as a 109-piece orchestra from time to time, as well as many other amazing things, such as a shamisen player, or a triangle player (triangulist?).Simply put, he like soundtracks. He likes them so much that he wants to make soundtracks for the rest of his days. He especially wants to make soundtracks which are so good, they temporarily make you feel as though you are immersed in another world.
