#NICKYDUBS is part introvert and part musical wizard/monster.  Everybody loves when he shares the vibe because he has a way of delivering the straight-up goods like nobody else, whether on stage or on the streets.  His signature feels, unmistakable tones, and mind-blowing skills took 30yrs to hone and it is no surprise to anyone that he worked hard to master the art of squeezing the best juice out from the void.  As a music baby turned bass-head, he does it all but he especially loves to mix acoustic drumkit with festival-style bass beats on the streets because it lights up the whole world with pure stoke and inspiration.  You can tell he can do it super efficiently too because nearly 100% of people smile and dance from the moment they hear him and all the way to the next block where the bubble radius extends to.  As one of the top drummers in Canada especially in the electronic music realm, he also ranks number one in the live looper category. (allegedly!)

Nicky Dubs' mind-blowing creative skills include beatboxing, live freestyle composition of incredibly catchy arrangements and his mastery of synthesizers allow for his trademark harmonic textures to emerge right before your ears.  If you get a chance to experience Nicky Dubs, it is sure to be a memorable experience and he promises nothing more!!

..But there might be a little more if we're lucky.  You may even reach full completeness to the core of your being, in which case please feel free to offer me a donation/tips for my contribution to your moment/life.  ..oops, i meant offer *him* a tip!  Because obviously Nicky Dubs would never write his own soundcloud bio, right?  Of course not!

..  I LOVE you all either way!!  err Nicky Dubs does..  crap, I have been exposed.  But nobody else read this whole blurb so please keep this little secret between us ok?  I promise I will eventually get somebody other than me to write my bio.  Or maybe not!  The streets are in need of hypnotic bliss and fat roller beats of all flavours.
