Episode 20: Nick Blaemire
Nick Blaemire is a NYC-based actor and composer, and front man of Nick Blaemire and the Hustle, a band for which he invented the meme "nerdsoul" (more on that within the interview). Nick has worked extensively in theatre as well as film and TV, and at the age of 23, became one of the youngest composers ever to mount a show on Broadway, short lived though it was. Here, Nick talks about economically spreading his time between writing for his band and for the theatre, his wide array of influences, and being an ultra-idealistic 11-year-old. www.nick-blaemire.com
