Maximal Music Sync is thrilled to welcome our newest signing, Nick Africano! Nick is a creator: a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, solo performer, poet, and sherry lover.  

Born in Normal, Illinois to artist parents and baseball fields as his backyard, he now lives in Brooklyn, NY.  

 His style defies the confines of genre, combining the best of folk, storytelling, soul, and rock and roll. Lyrics often softly spoken, or soulfully crooned, Africano is at once powerful and subtle.  His live performances are captivating and spontaneous, moving between acoustic guitar, resonator guitar, and piano.

 Africano has toured the US and EU extensively, and performed or collaborated with artists such as Pokey Lafarge, Lera Lynn, Jeffrey Foucault, Sonya Kitchell, Misty Boyce, Will Hogue, and more.

 Over the past years he has recorded 3 independently produced LPs including I’ve Ever Desired (2008) The Butterfly Bull (2012), If Timing Were Of Different Course And Fire (2014), and has been included in independent film and television. 

 He is currently finishing a full-length LP with acclaimed singer-songwriter, Lera Lynn (True Detective, T-Bone Burnett, John Paul White) as producer - and Grammy winning engineer, Craig Alvin (Kacey Musgraves), recorded at The Sound Emporium in Nashville, TN. Release TBD.
