Nick Hagelin "I.C.U."

Atlanta dancer turned singer Nick Hagelin is gearing up to take on the pop scene with a catchy, sugar coated pop groove, chiseled good looks, a smooth vocal delivery and a genuine passion for making music. Listen to his new track, I.C.U. 


After growing up in New Jersey, Nick moved down South to dance at the prestigious Carolina Ballet. Between shows and rehearsals, he honed his craft by writing songs, performing small shows and entering local talent shows.

GRAMMY winning producer 9th Wonder noted his talent and the two collaborated on a few hip hop tracks. A friend coaxed Nick into taking a trip down to Atlanta to meet with super producers Bangladesh (Lil Wayne, Ke$ha) and Sean Garrett (Usher, Whitney Houston, Jesse McCartney). As a result Nick decided to settle in Atlanta to work with these two heavy-hitters and pursue a career in music.

Nick has a very specific vision for his brand of music. "It's all about good pop music, great melodies and up-tempo dance grooves," Nick explains. "I just think that music is the most incredible medium for expression, especially for me personally, because at the same time that I get someone's mind thinking about something with my lyrics, I can get their body moving with the groove."

Nick is currently unsigned. But with a glossy sound that fits the mainstream, Nick is a promising new talent on the scene who should have no trouble finding a record deal that can take him places.
