Born and raised in Newark, New Jersey, Nick Jones’ music career began as a young listener of the live club parties broadcasted on New York City radio stations in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Influenced by the energy of these parties, he began to develop his craft while deejaying at local parties in his neighborhood.
After graduating from high school in the early 1980’s, Nick moved to New York City and began working at a record store called High Tech Music which was owned by Studio 54 DJ Leroy Washington. Leroy also opened a club called Lovelite in 1985 where Nick did double duty as the light man and support DJ. This eventually led to him becoming a resident DJ at the club. Nick has also appeared as a guest DJ at New York clubs such as The Underground, The Area, Ozone Layer, The Shelter, Sound Factory Bar, Tracks, Body & Soul and Redzone. A dream come true occurred during this time when he was invited to guest DJ on radio shows on the KISS-FM Mastermix, WBLS and Tokyo FM
Nick was a member of legendary 1990s NYC party, Wildpitch which he cofounded with Greg Day, Evelyn Epps, Monique Brooks, Patrick Lafontaine and Trevor Biggs. It was at one of these parties that Nick met King Street Sounds founder Hisa Ishioka. Hisa played a pivotal role in presenting Nick to the dance music scene in Japan where, over the past 20 years, he as played at venues such as Club Yellow, The Cave, Precious Hall, Club Next, Club Add, The Wall. Nick has also had the pleasure of touring extensively throughout Europe and Canada.
He has produced and remixed for labels such as King Street Sounds, Shelter Records, Maxi Records, Imani Records and Wave Music. Some of his hits include, "Live My Life" (Sylvia Simone), "Love is", "Celebrate Life" (Wave), "Harmonies", "As I Take You Back" (Colonel Abrams), "When You’re in Love" (King Street) "Dreaming" (Onesongbyrd on Shelter Music) and "Being Me" (Shelly Nicole on Imani Records).
