Growing up in a tumultuous household in Cahokia, IL. Nicks started attending church with his uncle at 14 years old. Hearing the gospel for the first time, he was reborn from his brokenness, experiencing a fresh harmony in his newfound faith. After attending Greenville University for Classic Vocal Performance and Business Management, and teaching music at a local high school, Nicks began writing songs of hope and conviction, highlighting God’s love and the individual journey everyone takes when walking in faith.

Later co-writing the GRAMMY® and Billboard Music Award-winning #1 hit, “That’s My King,” performed by Cece Winans, Nicks’ gift of storytelling was on display. Sitting at #1 on the Billboard Hot Gospel Songs chart for 49 consecutive weeks, “That’s My King” has won the BMI Gospel Trailblazers Award, BMI Christian Award, Top Gospel Song at the Billboard Music Awards, and Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song at the GRAMMY® Awards. “That’s My King” was also nominated for Song of the Year and Praise & Worship Song of the Year at the Stellar Awards, as well as Gospel Worship Recorded Song of the Year and Kids Worship Song of the Year at the Dove Awards.

An active member and worship leader at his home church, The Crossing in St. Louis, Nicks’ music is a sounding board to his listeners, offering an honest soundtrack to everyday experiences as a person of faith. Highlighting God’s love, Nicks’ Common Ground Initiative demonstrates his commitment to raising up the creative economy through collaboration and partnership in local communities across the US.
