Nick Jago was born on July 19, 1976, in Abadan, Iran. He is of British and Peruvian origin. His father is from England and his mother is from Peru. Growing up in Iran, Peru, Argentina, Venezuela, and England, he eventually left England to be with his family after they relocated to California in 1996. Prior to his leaving, Nick studied Fine Arts at Winchester School Of Art, hoping to become a painter.
After meeting Peter Hayes and Robert Been upon his arrival in the States, Nick switched his focus from painting to music, helping form the later internationally successful band, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. As the drummer for the band, Nick toured around the world for several years after B.R.M.C. left the San Francisco Bay Area for Los Angeles all to quickly attract the interest of a few record labels. The band later went on to tour with a collection of high profile musicians such as the members of U2, The Rolling Stones, and Neil Young.
In 2007, Nick started his own musical project. He is exploring moods, styles, eras and cultures.

Here's some great SXSW stuff I got into today...
The Austin 100: A SXSW Mix
NPR.org - In preparation for the 2009 South by Southwest music festival (March 18-21), NPR Music's spent weeks sampling songs by more than 1,000 of the acts in attendance. Some of the music induced swooning, some of it induced sleepiness, and some of it made us want to pry out our eardrums and swallow them for safe keeping. (We're looking at you, Gaybomb.) Arranged alphabetically by artist, the 100 songs in this ridiculously bountiful — but by no means definitive — mix all passed a simple litmus test, summed up in six simple words: "Yeah, I'd listen to that again." To hear the stream, click here.

Echo Park Named One of Top 10 Great Neighborhoods
And when you hear that, you might find yourself asking which Realtor came up with that ranking. Luckily, this time there is some creditability behind the designation: the American Planning Association. They "singled out Echo Park because of its breathtaking topography set in the hills above downtown, historic architecture, pedestrian-oriented streets and stairways, and engaged residents who, over the years, have gone to great lengths to protect and preserve their community," according to an APA release (add: their website has more info and history on why EP was chosen) .... more after you click on the image!
