Nick van Hofwegen is a Dutch goofball and friendly multi-media artist. At the moment, he makes nice sounds, pictures, and jokes from NYC / LA. Some folks who are in on the joke include Maroon 5, Robin Thicke, Velvet Teen, Foster the People, Barns Courtney and Mikky Ekko. Nick has also played key roles in the music projects Mr. Sanka and Sharer. Most importantly, Nick is the mastermind behind the clandestine Young & Sick, and is hard at work on his second full-length record. In the meantime, he's about to drop the most delicious new EP—Ojai—for you to whet your soul's appetite come January 2018. Its goal is to give listeners something to dance and cry to while having weird sex at the same time. In other words: go for it all, friend. He'd like to end this by making you feel sorry for him with an unfun fact: Nick cannot do a cartwheel. But you can. You're about to do them in your living room as you boogey to these highly danceable tracks in a fresh new year! -- Henry Goldkamp
