Bio
Karl Saynor
I've worked with Nick for several years and have watched him grow into an honest, empathetic and decisive leader. He's calm, collected and pragmatic; unfailingly generous with his time and support. His secret, I think, is that he truly cares; about his employees and associates, his clients and projects, the value we can add and difference we can make. He's part of what makes Nonsense great. If you're reading this as a prospective client or prospective employee; stop looking, you've found the right agency.
Ben Copland
Working with Nick was a total pleasure. His positive energy, meticulous attention to detail, structure and process are just a handful of qualities that he has to offer. From memory, he would always remain poised, composed and ready with a plan of action, whatever the situation. If the opportunity arises, I would highly recommend working with him, and I really hope to work together again in the future.

Classic Material

London, UK

Co-founder & Curator

Jun 2010 - Present
Classic Material is a London-based collective of music makers, designers, photographers and DJs brought together by the mutual interest of celebrating over 30 years of recorded rap music, through a series of projects incorporating music, photography and design. Founded by myself and Chris Read (recording artist for BBE Records). Classic Material projects have included parties across the UK with big guest DJs, monthly mix tape releases, limited edition t-shirts & box-sets. A partnership with MAMA (a group that runs some of London's most renowned music venues including The Forum, The Jazz Cafe) saw us bring some of the biggest names in Hip Hop to London. We launched a line of limited edition t-shirts in collaboration with renowned street style photographer & former BBC2 presenter Normski and internationally-known sneaker boutique Foot Patrol. The range sold out and in 2013 a second line was released at our pop-up store on Soho's Berwick Street. Both ranges benefitted from strong press coverage with the announcement of the partnership being announced exclusively via Hypebeast, the leading online destination for men's contemporary fashion and streetwear.
