Nick says that not only is music production a creative outlet for him, but that “understanding the way people in my business actually work on a day to day basis allows me to ask the right questions.”
“How legal issues are handled in creative industries is frequently dictated by creative process. Trying to be creative myself gives me a perspective that my clients value.”
