Update #3: Shall we give this a Second Try?

Posted on February 25

Hello all! I am entertaining the idea of starting yet another Kickstarter for the "Triumphant Rise & Tragic Existence of Sick Nick" album. I realized that when I created the original Kickstarter platform, I was listening far to closely to what everyone else thought I should do and wasn't listening enough to myself. This led to the decision to drop a higher donation that needed making the goal harder to achieve! Now I have a better idea of my direction and of the resources I will need to complete this project! Instead of a $3,000 amount, I was thinking more along the lines of $1,500! THIS IS POSSIBLE! We almost reached this goal the last time around and I KNOW that we could do it again. So, What do you think? Should we give this thing another shot?

Update #2: Small steps towards great things...

Posted on December 19
It is unfortunate to say that we didn't reach our kickstarter goal. Although I had high hopes for the success of this kickstarter, I am not left dissapointed. I am honored by all of the support I have received not only from this fundraising platform but throughout the entirety of my career as a musician over the last 10 years. I am still extremely optomistic about the release of the new album and plan to proceed with the completion of the project. If you would still like to donate to the release of the album, IT IS NOT TOO LATE! I am playing a show December 30th at the Blind pig and will be HONORING AN INCENTIVE PROGRAM FOR THOSE WHO CONTRIBUTE to the release of the Triumphant Rise & Tragic Existence of Sick Nick. Come to the Blind Pig (208 S. First St. Ann Arbor,MI), enjoy the show and learn more about how you can help support the release of my new project! It almost seems needless to say how gratefull I am for having such amazing fans, friends, and family by my side! I appreciate all that you have done for me and I only hope that I can return the favor! Much love, Nickie P.

Update #1: Climbing the ladder...

Posted on November 3, 2011

Hey everyone! So, we have reached the $600 mark for the Triumphant Rise and Tragic Existence of Sick Nick! We still have $3100 to go, but I am very confident that we will reach our goal! I have begun production on your incentives and am adding special little twists to each one to ensure that they are all COMPLETELY unique!

I really wanted to take this time to thank each of you for your donations and your support! My stomach has had butterflies ever since the project was launched and the anticipation only seems to be growing! I will do my best during these busy times to keep everyone updated on progress. The fund from this project will NOT be covering recording costs. For that, I am paying out of pocket.

As of October 31st, I have managed to record 7 out of 10 tracks. My goal is to have 10-12 tracks done before the kickstarter deadline is up! If we meet our deadline, then I can proceed to mix, master and press the album to send out to all of you lovely people!

Once again, thank you all for you love and support!

Love,

Nickie P.

Connected as Nickie Price (950 friends)

From murkey basements to Major Venues, Nickie P. (a.k.a. Sick Nick) has pleased crowds all over Southeastern Michigan and Northern Ohio. Nicole Price has been heavily involved in the music scene her entire life. Her father, James Price was a member of a Doo Wop group as a young boy alongside his father. Her mother, Toni was active in a church musical group out of Milford, Michigan for several years, later involving Nickie in the group. Her oldest brother David (a.k.a. Boliver Trask) played guitar and sang for a punk rock group called No Prematures and her second oldest brother, Kevin (a.k.a. Esque Roxwell) was a member in a local hip hop group called The Seven Chakraz. From 1996 to 2000, Nickie attended private voice lessons at Milford Music doing performances at the local legion hall and various street shows during town festivals. Nickie was primarily trained in classical, Broadway and Italian Opera, but Nickie found her true passion in Hip Hop music at the young age of 14. She wrote secretly until she found the courage to present her ideas to her brother Kevin (Esque) in 2002. That year Nickie became a new member of the crew and ever since has worked faithfully alongside her brother and a cast of friends and family spanning from Ann Arbor, Michigan to San Francisco, California. The crew has played at numerous venues in Michigan and Ohio including the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor, the Screamin’ Eagle in Ypsilanti, Mac’s Bar in Lansing, 1515 in Detroit, Frankie’s Bar in Toledo, Ohio and are continuously crowds to this day. In 2009, Nickie signed with Daleth music group from Southfield Michigan and put most of her focus and drive into finishing her first solo project "The Glitter Wars" (2009). In October 2010, Nickie left Daleth to create music on her own terms aspiring to finish her second album "The Triumphant Rise and Tragic Existence of Sick Nick"!
