Born and raised on the mean streets of East San Jose, SideShow, AKA Nick, started his musical journey when he was 18. It was at this moment that Nick knew he wanted to be part of 'The Electronic Dance Music Scene'.

He first became interested in the electronic music scene at the age of 18, when his close friend bought their first set of turntables. At the age of 20, he was already being touted as the next great up and coming hard trance dj. He did various warm up sets before the doors opened in clubs and raves hosting major names such as Hixxy, Sunrize, Ac Slater, Brisk, and many more.
