​

My name is Mike Nicholas and I am a songwriter and vocalist in The Finite Beings. I also play drums, rhythm guitar and am a published author. I have been writing songs and making music since the age of 13. I joined my first band, Stillhaven, at the age of 19, in which I played drums and wrote lyrics. After several years of writing and playing shows around the tri-state area, we disbanded in 2006.
 

I then decided to move to Florida and get my college degree at Full Sail University in recording arts. After graduating, I hit the biggest challenge I would face at this point in my life. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia. It would take me a couple of years to fully overcome the illness and I’m happy to say that I no longer suffer from it. I am fully recovered.
 

However, after experiencing all this it left me with a fascination of the mind. It inspired me so much that I wrote a book about my experiences titled, Imaginary Things (Inside the mind of a Schizophrenic), which was published and released in 2016.
 

When it comes to my songwriting in The Finite Beings I like to go creative and dig deep. All while being genuine to who I am. I combine my fascination with the mind, my faith, and my perception of the world as I experience it. This creates a unique atmosphere that oftentimes seems dark or strange. However, It also leaves a light at the end of the tunnel to show the hope that I have in this life and in the next.
