What if a Christian album could sound like queen meets keith green?

Nick Schrader was born and raised in a large family. Nick came to develop a deep passion for music through things like piano lessons and church children’s choir. A musical theatre kid, he grew up around showtunes and soundtracks to plays like 'Prince of Egypt’ and ‘West Side Story’. So when he started writing songs from his prayer times with Jesus, what came out were dramatic, theatrical numbers about walking with God. Nick’s music naturally embodies a whimsical kind of feel--some have said his songs are like "Pixar and the Holy Spirit". Given how piano-driven and ‘rock-opera’ his music can get, Nick likes to think he’s trying to be like his heroes Queen or Keith Green. He calls is “Keith Queen”.

Regardless of classification, though, Nick's highest hope is that his music would encourage the Body of Christ--that it would resonate with all the saints in the room, the joyful and the jaded. In all honesty, he has found himself being both on his own journey with Jesus. Nick hopes all of his music reminds those listening that following the Lord can be confusing, but His company is worth every penny we spend.

His new album, “Holy Fool”, is his first full-length effort.
