Nick has been representing Australian Hip Hop for the past 15 years as a B*Boy (Breakdancer), MC, Graffiti Writer and Activist. Founding member of the Gravity Warriors and dancer for the Resin Dogs doing two Big Day Out tours and numerous festivals.

Since moving on from Channel Direct I've travelled through Brazil, America, Europe and Vietnam doing shows, training, hooking up with Breakers and Dance Companies, observing and learning. On my return to Australia in mid '05 I was asked by Tracks Dance to work in the remote Indigenous community of Lajamanu as Choreographer for MILPIRRI a large scale show fusing traditional Walpiri Ceremony and Dreamings with Breaking. I was also guest Choreographer for Tracks in their Darwin Festival production of MR BIG in 06.,and for STRUCK ‘08. |

In 2006 I was asked by STALKER THEATRE CO to direct, choreograph and perform in their new production 'STILTBREAK' - a wicked fusion of stilt acrobatics and Breaking which premiered at the Campbelltown Arts Centre (Oct 06) and is set to tour Europe and the US in '08. |

In 2007 I performed in SURVIVAL TACTICS, a Hip Hop Theatre show that played to sold out audiences at Sydney Opera House, Brisbane Powerhouse and Melbourne Artshouse. I'm Artistic Director and Producer of BATTLE CITY, a Breaking Battle and Hip Hop Street Festival in Brisbane’s CBD. Battle City #6 happened on July 27th. as part of Qld Music Festival. |

In between all of this I've been a tutor at Stamping Ground festival for 7 years and have judged 3 national Breaking Championships. |
