Nik Olas (a.k.a. Nicolás Balseiro), is a Miami musician whose work is imbued with influences from his parents' own musicianship, his love of video game music, and his personal exploration of spirituality and music as a tool for healing.
In this conversation with David Verjano on Step Into The Sandbox, Nik talks about the music he was exposed to through his parents, how his music was impacted by his personal growth and maturation, and how music streaming platforms have impacted his and other artists' ability to make a living making music.
