Released 2005

Encouraged by the success of his first two albums and with stories to tell, Mattina dé Caffé is a more adventurous and confident project from Nick.

With The Guitar Homie, Nick has fun by mixing his acoustic guitar with high-fi hip hop and rap featuring the improv rapping of Wyze Wonder and Sham Star. What began as a bit of humorous musical advice to his adult son, resulted in an eclectic mix of smooth jazz and hip-hop.

Taking the advise of some dedicated fans, Nick has included lyrics to Cichi, A Beautiful Woman the title track of his first album. Nick collaborated with Marianne Ilass, a lifelong friend and creative artist herself. The result became a new version of the song, simply entitled A Beautiful Woman, this one with beautiful sensuous lyrics.  

The Gypsy Woman was written by Nick after a déjà vu experience following a visit with a fortune teller, whose insights from Nick’s past and interpretations of his future have played out to near eerie accuracy.
