Born in Georgia with a close relationship to his Southern roots, the artist now splits his time between hometowns in Anchorage, Alaska and Nashville, Tennessee. “I wanted this album to have my goddamn DNA on it,” Nick details. “I wanted Country to have a human touch. I want Country to be something you love with and dance with and cry with and sleep with and lean into.”

Fittingly, the album was recorded on Nashville’s Music Row alongside creative partner Laiko, where the two experimented with genre and style. “We made the album we wanted to make,” Nick says. “It’s so easy to get back in touch with yourself if you can throw off the heavy cloak of duty and just do something that feels good.” Identifying as queer, Nick draws inspiration from his own exploration of sexual identity and sonically blends classic country, ’80s new wave, ‘90s rap and hip-hop. Leading up to the release, Medium Build has previously shared the album tracks ‘Knowing U Exist,’ ‘Cutting Thru The Country,’ ‘Crying Over U’ and ‘In My Room’.

Medium Build recently opened for Holly Humberstone on her UK & European Headline Tour last month. Alongside these dates, Nick successfully embarked on a series of free shows throughout his ‘Cutting Thru The Highlands’ Scotland tour. He performed in intimate venues in Inverness, Stornoway, Ullapool and Glasgow, as a way to connect with remote communities and with the intention to play shows in locations that are usually under served by touring artists - much like Anchorage. To round off his time this side of the pond, Nick headlined a sold-out show at London’s Hoxton Hall with a spectacular stripped-back performance of songs from  his new album. This summer, Nick is set to play at Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza; before returning to the UK & Europe for a headline tour this November, which will include a performance at London’s Islington Assembly Hall on Wednesday 13th November - see below for a complete list of dates.

Creating Medium Build in 2015, Nick has gone on to release five studio albums to date. He has become a favorite across the creative community, with artists including John Mayer, Zach Bryan, Elton John, Boygenius and more counting themselves amongst his fans. He has toured with the likes of Lewis Capaldi, FINNEAS, Holly Humberstone and Briston Maroney, and found himself in a highly coveted slot on Zane Lowe’s Artists to Watch 2024 list. In 2023, his collaboration with X Ambassadors on “Friend For Life” found him entering the Billboard charts for the first time.
