Miami-based artist Fat Nick just announced his debut pop-punk album – Hello I’m Vulnerable – out August 25th via Rostrum Records. Following the announcement, he’s released project standout “Home Sick” which blends soaring melodies with a gritty rock instrumental. While originally known for his hip-hop cult hero status, Nick has seamlessly shifted into the sound of his first musical love and sounds creatively more at home than ever before. “Home Sick” comes on the heels of equally killer singles with close collaborators and longtime friends including Pouya and Kxllswxtch.

On the inspiration behind “Home Sick,” Nick explains, “Since a young age we left on tour and had to understand the real world at a very young age. While everyone we went to school with was partying, we were just touring kids doing all this falling and getting back up… My sense of home is where my friends are; that’s where I feel safe … now I also love being alone. It just does something to me; going crazy in my head but calmly analyzing everything and figuring out. I put myself in a downward spiral just to feel something and help me understand my surroundings…but home is where I can feel like my true self for just a second…”

He continues, “By acknowledging our flaws and vulnerabilities, we can become more self-aware and develop a more authentic sense of self… I wish I could make everyone happy in my life and it makes me feel like a failure that I can’t always, but I always try and would give the shirt off my back if needed to. I’ve been learning a lot about myself recently and working on myself, but I have a ways to go.”

In 2014, Fat Nick, also known as Nicky Gordo or Mr. Young Rich and Handsome, showcased his first body of work to the world with the release of “Tha Heart Attack”. This project featured Pouya and Germ and has gone on to accumulate millions of streams just on Soundcloud alone. Through the course of Nick’s career, he has released 6 whole bodies of works, and dozens of singles, with collaborations featuring the late Lil Peep, Shoreline Mafia’s OhGeesy, blackbear, $uicideboy$, Sir Michael Rocks, Riff Raff, Ramirez, and more. His discography has taken Fat Nick on multiple tours across the United States with the late Lil Peep & Smokepurpp (2016), Pouya (2017), Bexey & DJ Scheme (2018), Shakewell (2019) & more, and his presence has graced the Rolling Loud stage for every one of their festivals since the beginning. He also has taken on the main stage at festivals including Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash in Chicago, Riot Festival in Denver, Day N Vegas Festival, and more.
