More Info
- General Info
- Nikk has been teaching professionally for over 15 years as a multi-instrumentalist and experienced instructor in voice, piano, and guitar, and works exclusively with over 100 students each week both in private and group classes. He has travelled across the U.S. performing on countless stages and in front of media networks including MTV and Disney. Nikk has held private audiences with a variety of record producers and platinum selling artists with affiliations including Rascal Flatts, Colbie Caillat, Carrie Underwood, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Chris Brown, Michael W. Smith, Hillsong United, Mark Schultz, and Third Day. His songwriting and production work has made its way into the hands of such record companies/distribution reps including Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Studios Production Company, Indasoul Entertainment, CSM Words and Music, Upscale Records, Centricity Records, and others. He has received radio mention, as well as newspaper interviews (Lansing State Journal, Noise). His original work has received positive acclaim from well recognized writers and artist development teams such as Marc Williams, Shele Sondheim, Don Poythress, James Tealy, and he has shaken hands with those that write and produce most of what is on radio today. Outside of the limelight, Nikk has trained students internationally and has had the pleasure of watching some sign record contracts, shoot music videos, perform live on television, and mature into their own musical successes. Nikk has been a privately contracted piano accompanist for theatre programs in the Lansing, MI area, as well as having served on staff as a music director for various churches. Nikk was born into a family chock-full of professional singers and musicians on both sides. Needless to say, music was inevitably to be part of his future. Recognizing many teachers, band mates, producers, managers, and songwriters who have poured into him their knowledge and love of music, he considers himself extremely blessed. Taking what his mentors have helped him to achieve, and sharing that with students of his own, he feels is far more rewarding than any other credit. Recalling past students, he mentions that one thing he loves about teaching is being able to hear potential in someone even if that person is unable to hear it in themselves. Whether it be supplementing an awareness and knowledge of vocal mechanics with an already skillful singer, or talking new technique to discover untapped potential, what he loves most is imparting inspiration into his students and hearing them say, "I did not know I could do that!" Nikk states that the more you love something, the more you want to share it with others. Music carries so much passion. To nurture that in a student is awesome. Helping them grow and develop their abilities, and watching them succeed is one of the greatest experiences in the world.

Reviews
Studying with Nikk has been incredible. Specifically, he's helped me develop a much more refined technique, understanding, and dynamic to my voice far better than any other vocal coach I've worked with. He continually introduces new ideas matched with healthy technique, ultimately allowing my voice to take off and feel as if it's "flying" rather than dying! His studio is amazing with a full assortment of equipment for both recording and performance coaching. Nikk is a strong asset to have for both vocal and musical instruction.
Nikk's teaching methods and specific vocal instruction have greatly helped me strengthen and hone my skills as a singer. He's a top-notch coach with a fantastic studio, and I highly recommend.
Nikk is a fantastic voice coach and music instructor. He's an excellent communcator and demonstrates a strong aptitude with what he does as a teacher. His studio is fully equipped with both performance and recording equipment, and facilitates a strong creative environment. I would recommend Nikk as a first choice to anyone looking for focused lessons in either voice, piano, or guitar.
Nikk is an excellent musician and highly experienced teacher. I am always impressed by how well he helps musicians of all kinds progress, whether they are professional artists refining recordings, voice students preparing for auditions, piano/guitar students learning material, or performers collaborating in concerts. Through his interactions with students, it's clear that they truly enjoy working with him.
In addition to Nikk being an outstanding vocal instructor, he's also been a great music mentor. His methods of teaching combined with artistic insight and professional advice have really helped me throughout my career as a singer. Definitely a top choice for vocal instruction!
