Bio
Jack Douglas Miller
Nick Manson is one of the more creative musicians I have had the pleasure of working with. He excels in all areas of contemporary music as producer, composer and musician. Manasus Music, Nick's company, continues to release high caliber talent with a focus on Jazz and Blues artists. Nick is a three time Emmy winner for his television scoring and is an accomplished jazz pianist. He's also fun and easy to work with. I highly recommend Nick as a person and talent.
Michael Zick
Nick is a hard-working, dedicated individual. Not only is he a great manager, but very talented musically and technically. Working for him was a rewarding experience and would not hesitate to do so again in the future.
