Nicholas Grass Biography

Nicholas Michael Grass was born in Clearwater, Florida and was raised there until the age of four. Afterwards, he moved into the Tarpon Springs neighborhood of Grassy Pointe. He went to Ozona Elementary School and Tarpon Springs Middle school. It was during this time that Nicholas began his lyrical pursuits in alternative music and rock. He wrote about war, depression, friendship, and eventually about love. Then, after enrolling in Tarpon Springs High School, he discovered that he could make headway in rhyming and songwriting through rap and poetry. He took up the mantle of a rapper and a poet because he saw that more ideas could be conveyed in those styles of writing due to their speed and notability. He initially did not like rap music or poetry because of some musicians' usage of vulgar ideals and extra-emotional conviction. But, Nicholas eventually found that he liked these styles best because of their versatility. He then decided to refine the art forms and took to conforming them to display up-lifting ideas and to raise his listeners' and readers' awareness of current social and political struggles and events as well as enlightening his audiences on the wonderful world around them.
