Nick's musical accomplishments have been well documented through trade magazines such as New Age Voice.   In this periodical, his four recordings have charted in Top 20s for radio airplay worldwide for 38 months straight.  His cd Farther debuted on the Top 100 Airwaves chart at #3 for October 2000, moved up to the prestigious #1 position for November and held on to the #5 spot for December.  The last solo pianist to hit the #1 spot was nearly two years prior.  Consequently, the recording stayed in the Top 40 for six months.  Keep Moving ranked #3 on the NAR Top 100 for July 2004 and remains in heavy airplay worldwide.  This recording also ranked #20 on the NAR Top 100 Airplay Chart for 2004.  See Press for more information.
