Somerset, New Jersey native Nick Brooks is making a name for himself in the entertainment world with his unique fusion of music, acting, and visual storytelling. Known for his distinct sound — merging Hip Hop, R&B, and Pop — Nick brings a deeply personal touch to his work, delving into themes of love, heartbreak, self-discovery, and the complexities of the human experience.
His latest single, “No Second Chances,” released on Valentine’s Day, is a standout example of that emotional depth. Inspired by a fight with a significant other, the song sat unreleased for over a year before Nick chose to share it with the world. “I really wanted to tell a story in my art and make sure people could relate to it,” he says. “Music helped me through a lot of hard times, and being able to do that for someone else would make me feel like I’ve served my purpose.”
In addition to music, Nick is gaining momentum in acting. After transitioning from basketball, he began landing dramatic roles, bringing the same emotional range to the screen that he does in his music. “I always thought that the next coolest job after playing in the NBA was being in TV shows and movies,” he shares.
Nick’s dual talents recently came together in a new project: he booked a principal role in a reel short film titled My Ex Lover is My Bodyguard. Shot in a vertical format for platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, the film reflects the digital era’s evolving storytelling landscape. “I definitely don’t want to give up on acting since I loved it first, so I try to give adequate amounts of attention to both crafts,” Nick adds.
What ties all of Nick’s work together is a commitment to authenticity and relatability. “That’s the main reason I started doing this. The more my music can relate to people, the more people it will reach. Listening to music can be an experience if you do it the right way.”
Despite rising success, Nick remains grounded and grateful to his fans. “Everyone who believes in my art has a special place in my heart. It’s just a small reminder that I’m in too deep now, and I gotta make this work — not only for me but for those who have supported my art before it was cool to do so.”
With new music and acting roles on the horizon, Nick Brooks is proving that real stories, when told with heart, always find an audience.
