Nick Ineck
Drummer, percussionist, and vocalist Nick Ineck is based out of Los Angeles, CA and has traveled across the United States to perform for crowds modest and vast, intimate to grand. Originally from Nampa, Idaho, Nick first picked up his sticks around the age of 12 in Junior High Jazz and Concert band. He credits his unique drum flavor and ubiquitous style to being equally inspired by British Rock carelessness, Classic Rock nostalgia, Jazz creativity and sensitivity, African groove, R&B soul, Hip Hop attitude and Johnny Cash grit. His influences include Stewart Copeland, Buddy Rich, Keith Moon, Quest Love, Josh Freese, Ginger Baker, John Bonham, Buddy Miles and Lenny White. After graduating with High School experience in marching, concert and jazz band drumming, Nick drove to Los Angeles to study drums and percussion at Cal State Northridge. Now, with both an Undergraduate Degree in Music and a Masters Degree in Business Entrepreneurship, the dream of being able to travel the world as a touring musician and spread charity, love, hope and inspiration is a reality.
With three national tours under his belt, Nick is always eager to work with Pop and Rock acts, internationally. Nick has cut records and performed live with many names in Pop, Country, Rock, R&B and Punk. Some of these names include Raekwon (Wu-Tang Clan), Dru DeCaro (Miguel), GRiZ, Ted Russell Kamp (Shooter Jennings), Chad Watson (Kenny Allen Band), American Authors and many more.
Nick currently performs with Falconry, whose front man, Dru DeCaro, performs with 2-time R&B Grammy winner, Miguel! Falconry’s live show boasts the energy and excess of an arena event; standing one foot in the damp, digital bath of Generation-Z polyart and the other firmly on the shoulder of 90s era grunge rock gods. When asked about where he’s at artistically Nick says, “I’m happy to finally reach that point in my life and career where music is more than just a lifestyle, it’s a purpose.”
