Growing up in a multi-cultural home with a Syrian mother and British father, Sydney based, singer-songwriter Nick de la Hoyde was exposed to many global influences that he now weaves into his music. Melding his love of hip-hop, pop and RnB with introspective lyrics that chronicles a young musician’s journey to adulthood, overcoming life and artistic challenges along the path, Nick and his long-time producer/collaborator/older brother Joseph (ZUZU) de la Hoyde, have together crafted a sound that is simultaneously intimate, expansive and engaging. Having penned confessional, real life anthems, such as “California”, “Mirror Mirror”, “Hold Me Close”, and “Love Takes Time”, that oscillate between moody, textured RnB, anthemic synth laden future-pop and hip-hop moments, combined with a lyrical earnestness that speaks directly to today's younger generation. Nick has quickly made a name for himself, cultivating a large and dedicated on-line following and becoming a powerful voice for youth empowerment and positivity.

Nick has just released the visual to his single "Animals", which is a precursor to his debut album “A Beautiful Mess”, which is set for a June/July release. In speaking about the new single/video, Nick says, "Animals" is a song about love! I wrote the song because I am constantly in awe of the unconditional love that I see in all animals, whether in the wild or the ones we are blessed to share our homes with! No matter what sort of day you have had, or how bad you are feeling, when you get home you are greeted with love and affection that puts a smile back on your face. Human beings can learn a lot from animals, and real, unconditional love is the biggest lesson your can learn from them and one that we should put into practice in our own lives".
