Nick Freed
Nick is a Missouri to Chicago transplant. He enjoys country music (circa 1984-1994), rock, and hip-hop. He's not one for superlatives, but once something calls for it he can't stop. When he isn't writing, he's acting. He's working on finding the time to get his MFA in Creative Writing "eventually."
He has wanted to write about music since high school, and is incredibly excited to have the opportunity to do so for Consequence of Sound. Finally an avenue for him to spout his opinion that not just his friends read!
