NICK STIR
NICK STIR now has his own website. As of July 2024....
LID OFF THE BOX is the bonkers behind the scenes enabler of his work, or it's trying to be... And NICK STIR is gloriously unaware of it as he pursues his mission.
All will be revealed in time.
Currently the story here resides within the mind of The Author and has been The Author's Dilemma for many years...

For the writer / creative in the midst of all this having a separate space - Acting a different part - is somehow therapeutic and freeing...

NICK STIR
NICK STIR is blessed as a hyper sensitive, hyper creative artist. A likeable, Chapter 3 Mensa man who can hide in pragmatic argument, self sabotage, iteration, lack of trust and having you laugh with his self deprecating British humour.. He creates: as lyricist, singer-songwriter and comedic storyteller - as artist, designer, writer and music producer - as avoiderer and 24/7 frenetically busy 'latest project' procrastinating looper... A man whose demons and past seek to hold him and who fights on to understand them more and break free from their lies. Lies that have forever coloured the world he observe as he pushes love away to fulfil his childhood 'survive alone' script. More Counselling creating possibilities, dopamine trials. 'You are not Mentally Handicapped. You are just different. Some great advantages some challenges," confirms Psychiatrist, who likes Led Zeppelin. Special? A sinners faith underpinning and an Olympian's persistence have him keep on... to somewhere.
For the last quarter of a century (apart from brief moments of fame) he has been betting 'All On Red.' Following a call to 'set people free from lies that bind them...' But - he's been held... He's been forever processing his life's loves and angst through his lyrics, songwriting and hiding in his Media Empire building dream. He's been forever processing his initial success - the wrong box in many ways - of his life. The very thing he is trying to escape. To do his own thing, to make his own way. To be who he is, rather than what he was given and then defined him. Intense HIIT and Bootcamp workouts, fine view Don Quixote navel gazing, or decimated again, head on desk, almost homeless his fare. Incremental learning providing colour, possibility and eating time. A Bentley spent, on kit not properly used. Years spent in the dark - alone. Pension plan entitled, 'Keep Working.' Yet. Deep friendships made. Experiences observed. Love given and shared. Laughter. A son, a stillborn son, a faithful wife worn down by... And the songs come. And is there an enemy seeking to have him die, before he shares?
This work is NICK STIR's music therapy. His battle for freedom. His trying to understand real life... himself and the amazing female species. All rocket fuel for creativity and song. This enigmatic, aspergers influenced visionary naturally, eagle flies or snow tiger sighs, alone. But with Indigo, his canine assistant and prayers to God he is really not alone. The journey, constantly, intensively, betting all, living on the edge, no income, stressed and learning, improving, creating more, so that one day... The magic can be in the music. If he can find courage enough to let it fly. If he dare release his voice to the world and face the lovers and haters - and the child within that screams don't leave me and grow up... - and 'allow' success.
He has stirred people : TV, arenas, online, or Church Wars. Fame - then hidden away - safe, searching. Yet still... His name's NICK STIR on purpose. He has many 'Nick Names' and his music and stories will STIR your soul. NICKSTIR.
This story now embraces fame to unknown in new land to colour his story, as does a banana skin strewn lifetime searching for identity, purpose and freedom. An artists 'pot-pouri' to fragrance a song. A last ditch Alamo set up to see - does he 'finally' have the courage...
As a British Canadian, as of 2022, (immigrant from England, 2016) his heritage is now imbued with North American vibe; his English comedic view of love, life and what's right given fresh context. Once he was a British Champion, twice Olympian and TV Celeb lost in the wrong 'Ice Dancing' box. Loving the audience, the show being taught and hating the corrupt Judging. Now, he is seeking to be taking the Lid Off The Box of his life, to stand, re-invented, in a new continent. Perhaps it's time to make peace with that past, let go, and risk stepping out for one Alamo history to be changed... A worthy Omega to pursue... A worthy story to write - from now.
NICKSTIR had a cross genre musical upbringing from competing dancing on ice. He sculpts lush reverb tails inspired by ice arena acoustics. His NICKSTIR ‘Nick Name’ was bestowed by the late, great, singer songwriter Colin Vearncombe of the band Black, when serendipity had Colin coach the then Nicky Slater back in London, England. (W73)

I've wasted time and money
Yet I'm blessed, perseverance drive
I can feel a lyric start to flow
Here's where I come alive
So many Self Help Courses
Desperate to break free
Found Jesus saw a car crash
Wilderness years
I was deceived
But finally now I stand here
Wiping off the dirt
Taking The LID OFF THE BOX off my life
I'm Making Crazy Work
