Nick Pallas- Singer/Musician
Nick Pallas of Grayson, Georgia is only 15-years-old but has
already been hailed as a new generation rat packer. His music is a
genre blend of Contemporary, Classical and Pop that is unique with a
jazzy style of its own. Musical influences like Michael Bublé, Josh
Groban and Frank Sinatra drive his genre to one that all ages can
enjoy. Nick aspires to be a “total entertainer” in the mold of Frank
Sinatra and Dean Martin, performers who don’t just stand at the mike
and sing but who created a mood with singing, talking and acting. His
audiences, who become instant fans, keep coming back to see this
fabulous entertainer.
Nick has been singing since the tender age of 6 at family reunions and
special events with no professional training. The turning point of his
career came in November of 2006 when Nick was running sound/lights for
his high school pageant. He was asked to fill in as the entertainment
for a student who had gotten sick. With no preparation, Nick took the
stage before an audience of 500+ and gave a breathtaking performance.
As luck would have it, a music industry representative was at this
event and heard Nick sing. This defining moment was the start of a
music career that has taken on a life of its own. In July of 2007, Nick
was accepted as a student by Nashville’s vocal coach to the stars,
Renee Grant-Williams who has worked with stars such as Martina McBride,
Christina Aguilera and Tim McGraw a clear indicator of Nick’s vocal
potential.
Since the launch of his career in 2007, Nick has performed at some
pretty impressive events and venues that have a knack for discovering
great talent. A career highlight was his televised performance at the
annual 11Alive Can-A-Thon on WXIA TV. He made his first radio debut in
August on WUGA “It’s Friday” radio show in Athens, GA. He has quickly
become a regular performer at community and charity events with over 50
performances in 2007. He takes great pride in being a community
activist by performing at charity events such as Gwinnett Relay for
Life at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds and the ALS Walk at Centennial
Olympic Park in Atlanta, GA.
In December, Nick recorded 3 original songs at Schnee Studios in Los
Angeles with famed producer Steve Dorff. Steve works with artists such
as Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Barbara Streisand and Nick’s idol
Michael Crawford (original Phantom of the Opera) just to name a few.
The titles of these original songs are Dream Big, Tear Down all the
Walls, and No Greater Love. Dream Big describes the exhilaration Nick
feels as his life-long dream unfolds before him as he pursues a singing
career in the music industry. Tear Down all the Walls is a moving song
that speaks of love and world peace, while No Greater Love is an
uplifting beautifully written spiritual song.
