Nick Dee

“He does internet things.” So reads the headline of Nick DiRamio, a freshman at NYU’s Website.  It’s a tagline and while it describes some of what he does, it’s barely the tip of the iceberg.
Nick DiRamio is in his first year studying Film and Television, but whenever he can make the time to do something outside of coursework, he’s developing his Website, creating video blogs, tweeting for about 200 followers on Twitter and posting his original music online.
Nick recently sat down with Student Maximus Magazine to chat about himself and his interests. Originally from New Hampshire, Nick began creating electronic pop music in high school. “I got heavy into songwriting… wasn’t skilled enough to compose my own music.”
Nick began working on his music after “playing around with some computer programs.” “It wasn’t until after I became confident in my music that I started to tell people about it,” said Nick.
Nick decided to create a website and post his music there. He’s created more than 20 songs, eight of which can be heard on his last album – Nickotine Addiction.
“It just happened organically,” Nick said, describing the latest version of his website. It’s updated throughout the day.
Nick said his website is a promotion to “be yourself”, an idea that influences the creation of his music.
“My music reflects past experiences in trying to find out who I am and just being confident … not trying to make other people happy,” he said, “Hopefully people get that from my music…” just be yourself, enjoy yourself, have confidence in who you are.”
Two of his latest song releases, “Talk Sh*t” and “Don’t F*ck With Me”, are examples of how Nick expresses what others won’t express when dealing with people who may not be so happy with who you are.
Nick said the lyrics of “Talk Sh*t” are a declaration to not letting others bother you.
“There are people out there who want to push your buttons. Don’t let those people put you down,” he said, “Negative energy is a waste of time … ‘Positive energy’ is the message I’d like to send out.”
Nick said the key to remaining positive is to keep in mind that you should never give up; “never get to the point where you think it’s impossible to succeed.”
Currently working on more positive music, Nick said his next album would feature less of a techno-like sound. He said that although he is influenced by the pop music of Lady Gaga and enjoys the sounds of rappers Lil’ Wayne and Drake, listeners will get more of an all-natural Nick Dee sound.
But the positive energy doesn’t stop there. Nick has decided to take the unfortunate effects of the earthquake in Haiti and channel his talent to the people of that country. The proceeds from Nick’s album will go to the Help For Haiti Foundation.
