Nicholas Ryan Gant is a New York based singer/songwriter/educator. NRG studied Opera at Howard University and works as a sought-after vocal coach internationally. NRG's dynamic vocal stylings have afforded him the opportunity to sing support vocals for artists such as Mariah Carey, Jon Batiste, Run the Jewels, Sy Smith, Childish Gambino, Miri Ben-Ari, and Michael McDonald.

His new project RESTORE: The Album is a reconciliation with the world through music and healing. Within the last two years we have all experienced trauma, and in more ways than one we've had to adapt and create new ways to learn and grow. The project is an introspective look into how the artist applies pressure to the areas of growth in his life. Using layers of vocals and stack of harmonies as the foundation, RESTORE is sprinkled with lullabies to young Black children planting seeds of confidence and love. We are all in need of healing. We all need the space to restore what was lost and the work starts from within. The album is co-produced with Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter and producer Mickey Freedom Hart.
