Hailing from the caffeinated and creative city of Melbourne, Nicholas Reid has been honing and crafting his musicianship over the past 2 years at Melbourne Polytechnic. Having learned via trial and error through his experience playing and part-managing local outfit, The Groves, Reid has used this as a platform which has lead him to join alt-pop outfit Cousin Tony's Brand New Firebird and accompany the likes of Ayleen O'Hanlon, Alex Lahey, Phoebe Daicos, Franscesca Gonzales and Andy Richards on stages both in Melbourne and abroad.
