Nic Hale Music

Trumpet player, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and musician, Nic Hale crafts a melting pot of music as unique as his very own hometown of Long Beach, California. Throughout his development, Nic found himself immersed and enthralled by styles as far ranging as jazz, reggae, punk, hip hop, jam band, house, and world music. After earning a music degree from California State University, Long Beach, the trumpet became his ticket to the world. He has performed on three continents, at festivals including Glastonbury and Coachella, on legendary stages including the Hollywood Bowl and Greek Theater, and on live productions such as the Late Show with David Letterman. Artists Nic has performed with include Thievery Corporation, Wu Tang Clan, Belle & Sebastian, and funk legend George Clinton. Now, as a solo artist, he draws upon on the wide array of funk and world music sounds that have shaped his career up to this point to create his own original sound - his very own ‘Playground.’
