Nick Mair

“My music is all about connection,” says Nick Mair from an LA studio. “Connecting with others, connecting with an emotion. It’s how I connect with myself.”

Empathy is the potent ingredient that guides Nick Mair’s creative process. Then, the producer-singer-songwriter applies his brush strokes to every element of a song, painting a vivid picture of the experience or feeling he wants to capture.

The self-taught musician from Minneapolis got his start behind the keys of a piano, playing hit songs by ear from Billy Joel, Chris Martin, Ryan Tedder and more. This natural ability evolved into his work as a producer, which he packed his bags for the coast to pursue. It was there, at the insistence of artists and producers he collaborated with, that Mair expanded the aperture of his career into singing and songwriting. Thinking through every element of a project is how he’s turned raw talent into real results.

Mair stays active on the LA music scene, collaborating with artists and creates his own records on the regular. Whether he’s taking the lead on vocals or polishing the 808s on a production, his versatility makes him an asset to virtually any project.
