At 18 years old, Nick Marzock has become an accomplished musician.
He has written and produced more than 30 songs of his own, including
such titles as "Ghost Town of Royal Highs" and "At
the End of the Day." He sings as well as plays the drums, piano,
guitar, bass, and adds the harmonica to his repertoire of more than
80 cover songs.
Nick
started his music journey at the age of 5 when he began taking piano
lessons for the next 7 years. He took a strong interest in drums
by age 11, and took drum lessons from Alan Muckle, a well-known
drummer around Pittsburgh's music scene. During
this time, Nick and his friends formed their first band with heavy
grunge influences from the group, Nirvana. They performed original
material along with a few select covers.
In
the years that followed, Nick spent hours each day with his acoustic
guitar and drum kit, honing his skills and re-creating sounds and
beats familiar to Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Jimmy Page, and his
drumming idol, Carter Beauford. He got his first big solo acoustic
performance opportunities during the summer of 2006 when he played
at the North Park Field Club (Wexford, PA) Cabana Bar, and Cranberry
Township's (near Pittsburgh, PA) fireworks night to more than 1500
people. At both of these events, Nick's confidence and professionalism
won over the audiences, and more appearances followed. Since then,
he has twice appeared at Pittsburgh's Hard Rock Cafe, and at numerous
other private and public events. He is currently working on the release of
his first cd.
Nick
appreciates all the support from his parents and sister, as well
as his entire family and friends. He was a three year returning
letterman on the Seneca Valley Varsity Football team where he was
awarded All-Conference Tight End, second team for the WPIAL Quad
A North Conference in the 2007 season. He is also a member of the
music ministry team of Grace Community Church in Cranberry, performing
twice a month. Nick graduated from Seneca Valley High School this June.
