Nic Howell is a 17-year-old American singer-songwriter who inspires people to be themselves.

This EP is real, down to earth, pretty unfiltered…super unfiltered.” I had the opportunity to talk with Nic and learn more about him as well as his EP, Welcome to the Mind of a Teenage Boy.

Talk about your EP, Welcome to the Mind of a Teenage Boy, what does this EP mean to you and what’s the inspiration behind it?
The EP is an introduction to who I am, and it’s really about all the things that have been on my mind recently. I feel like these four songs are super relatable to people of all ages worldwide.
How was the recording and writing process for this album?
The process was fun! We actually started the process in Miami and ended it in London at Abbey Road studios which was the coolest thing ever!
If you could give young aspiring teenage artists like yourself one piece of advice, what would it be?
Don’t try to be like everyone else! Just do you.
