Hailing from Memphis, Tennessee, soulful singer Nick Black exudes an earnest and engaging energy throughout his music. With purely positive vibes he crafts a timeless and upbeat sound that is innovative and fresh. Black's latest release “I.R.L.” highlights relaxed guitars, warm vocals and glistening melodies, all pairing together to build the ultimate feel-good release. The track details a familiar concept we can relate to in this age of social media and technology as many of us are constantly glued to our phones. He was inspired to write the song after his wife asked him to put down the phone and be present. However, now "I.R.L." has taken on new meaning in this current crisis we are all facing. Singing in this irresistible anthem, “I want to see you in real life”, he voices the distress we face as we deal with a lack of human interaction and connection.

Known for his impassioned and candid releases, Nick Black fuses his own form of punchy pop with smooth R&B. With the swagger of Khalid and the playfulness of Charlie Puth, the songwriter brings his boisterous music to life. Growing up with a deep connection to religion yet also honing in on his Memphis soul and blues roots, his music naturally grew into the spirited sound it has today. Experimenting with a variety of genres Nick Black is ready to unleash a new element to his music by adding electronic beats to his ever-evolving sound.
