Nicolay
Grammy-nominated music producer and multi-instrumentalist Nicolay was born and raised in The Netherlands (Europe). He played in various bands and got a formal music education before focusing on the production side of the music making process.
Around 2002, Nicolay met rapper/singer-songwriter Phonte (of Little Brother) on the Okayplayer message boards. They struck up a partnership under the name The Foreign Exchange and released their critically acclaimed debut album Connected, which was completed solely through the use of the internet, in 2004. The success of Connected enabled Nicolay to move to the United States and further pursue his career in music. The Foreign Exchange's sophomore album, Leave It All Behind (2008), was even more succesful, culminating in the Grammy nomination for the album's first single, "Daykeeper". Since then, The Foreign Exchange have released two more studio albums as well as a live DVD and a remix compilation.
Nicolay and FabFilter
"I demand the absolute highest quality in any piece of equipment that I use, whether it be hardware of software, and so I am always on the lookout for that next inspiring piece to add to the toolkit. The FabFilter plug-ins not only deliver in terms of quality, but there's an ease of use to the user interface that I thoroughly enjoy."
