Nicholas Young is a educator, producer, audio engineer, photographer, broadcaster, and business strategist. With more than a decade of experience spanning almost every creative discipline, no industry is safe from his disruptive, innovative spirit.

Thanks to his early adoption of podcasting and various guest spots on the terrestrial dial, Nicholas' voice has been heard by millions around the globe.

A photographer and filmmaker, he's worked with some of the best names in independent music to create meaningful marketing collateral, short films, and striking images that capture the essence of live music performances around the country. Publications and organizations around the world also favor his work, and it's ability to communicate a clear message without unnecessary distractions.

Tapping his experience as an educator, you'll routinely find him in a college classroom; inspiring a new generation of creative professionals, speaking to attentive audiences, or authoring curricula for one of his seasonal courses on HTML, design, or photography.

Always the risk taker, his latest venture gathers all of his previous work to form a new breed of production company. Based in Chicago, Original Machine is equal parts artist management agency, independent production studio, software development firm, and record label - a potent combination aimed at helping artists everywhere profit from their art.

When he's not working, you'll find him enjoying local beer and spirits, and taking in a concert or film at one of his favorite venues. Nicholas resides in Chicago, IL with his wife, Susan.
