Brenton’s Holiday LoveFest – Nicky P

In the spirit of the holidays, and the joys of expressing your love and appreciation for those close to you, I am writing about my bandmates. I want them and the world to know how much I appreciate their hard work and the people that they are. Part Two: Nicky P.

Nick made an impression on me very early in our relationship. As an easy-going but focused person, his very being presents challenges too tempting to avoid. Obviously we can all speak volumes about Nicky’s talent. He is an extremely passionate and multi-faceted musician. His musical theory is constantly expanding, just as his mind is.

Musical talent aside, much can be derived from the methods he used to develop his talent. We know he didn’t just wake up one day and start ripping like Steve Vai. It took time and hard work, and that’s a quality you can’t ignore. When it comes down to it, Nick can be a very hard worker. His passion drives his creativity and it’s because of his need to express something through music that makes him a perfect friend and band mate. Nicky chooses to slow down so that we can all keep up. He’s too smart, too psychic to ignore what’s coming.

My favorite thing to do with Nicky is share my lyrics and discuss poetry. In school, I always saw poems and art with a much different perspective than most. Nicky is the same way, but different comes with a unique view that I can’t ignore. We are constantly sharing notes and napkin-scribbled quatrains to see what each other thinks.

Nick inspires me. He makes me proud. He makes me jealous! And I am proud to call him my brother. I truly want nothing but the best for him… because he deserves it.

I love you, Nicky! A Merry Christmas & Kisses to the Amazing Papageorges!

We call him Das Wunderkind…
