Meet Nick Palance of Nick Palance in Glendale

Today we’d like to introduce you to Nick Palance.

Nick, please share your story with us.
I’ve been interested in music since I was a child, first teaching myself, at 6 years old, to play the family organ at Christmas time. I always say that music saved my life. At about 8, I was already hanging with the gangsters in my neighborhood in Crenshaw and by 9, I made the decision to turn to music full time. My father was an Opera fanatic and as a kid, I was into Rock and Roll, couldn’t really grasp the Opera, kinda strongly disliked it actually. Then while studying at the Conservatory I stumbled across my voice and eventually changed my major from classical guitar to voice and was required to learn some Opera. The 1st moment I opened my mouth to sing Opera, was the exact moment I found my destiny. It’s from the challenges it brings and the sheer beauty of life’s struggles that it portrays that I found a new form of passion in my life. I was hooked!

Today, I am working on a few projects including an all-Romantic Spanish album, featuring songs in Spanish that I’ve written and I’m also wrapping up my Christmas Album that’s being produced by Barry Manilow’s producers Greg Bartheld and David Benson. Beyond that, I’m still regularly engaging and holding private concerts for the world’s elite and famous.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
I grew up in Crenshaw which used to be a very dangerous that neighborhood. I had been shot at multiple times in drive-by’s and so forth. My father was purposely shot and killed when I was just 12 because of the color of his skin and by the time I was 16, I had seen at least 3 people killed in front of me. Music got me out of this neighborhood and saved my life.

So, as you know, we’re impressed with Nick Palance – tell our readers more, for example, what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.

Nick has the extraordinary vocal ability to blend the power and intensity of opera with the wider appeal of pop music. He also has a repertoire spanning 5 languages from traditional Opera to Broadway and contemporary styles like Pop, Popera, and his own original songs. All this blended together gives Nick a unique and timeless appeal that captivates audiences of all ages and musical preferences. His commanding stage presence, good looks, and warm personality create sophisticated and uplifting performances that will stir your soul and his audiences are always clapping and singing along, dancing and cheering.

Currently, I am working to break into the Latin market and am already in negotiations to hold my 1st performance in The Valle De Guadalupe, Baja wine country, summer of 2018.
