Nick champions the full network of talent behind the music — from the musicians, producers, and engineers creating the recordings to the industry leaders helping bring them to market. With deep industry knowledge and endless enthusiasm, Nick continues to build Drummer’s Resource as well as Revoice Media, a podcast production company he co-founded in 2017.
