BIO
For someone who was friends with the jocks, the nerds and the musicians in high school, not much has changed since for Nick Baker.

A guitarist and a songwriting partner of Marina V, an international pop singer/songwriter in Los Angeles, Nick is busy writing, recording and performing with Marina worldwide (while getting his Masters Degree and still being very much into sports).

Native of Springfield, IL, Nick started out on drums as a 4 year-old KISS fan. Over time, he started to write poetry and songs, while forming rock bands.

In his early 20s, Nick met Marina, and they have been writing and performing together ever since. Highlights include tours in Europe and performing at the famous Kodak Theatre, as well as at the Russian Embassy in Washington, D.C., plus co-writing numerous songs for NBC's Days of Our Lives.

Oh yeah, and he's also learning to speak Russian.
