Who’s That guy at the piano?

Nick Perez is an accompanist and music director based in New York City. He is currently a Literary Associate and the Resident Music Supervisor for Latiné Musical Theatre Lab.

From a young age he knew that he wanted to be a professional musician: he took his first piano lesson when he was five, his first paid gig at fourteen, and earned his Bachelor of Arts in Music from Saint Mary’s College of California when he was twenty one. He prides himself on being a versatile musician who can adapt to any genre.

Nick maintains an active performing schedule. When he is not at either of his choral accompaniment jobs, he can be found providing music for religious services, playing private and corporate events, music directing local theater productions, and much more.

Some of his favorite theater credits include “An Enchanted Evening” and “Let’s Dance” (Transcendence Theater Company), “In the Heights” (Center Repertory Company, Berkeley Playhouse), “I, Too, Sing America” (San Francisco Bay Area Theatre Company), “Sister Act” (Broadway by the Bay), “The Rocky Horror Show” (San Jose Stage Company), “West Side Story” (Pacific Coast Repertory Theatre), and “The Speakeasy SF”, an immersive theatrical experience that entertained San Francisco crowds for over three years.

During his time as Music Supervisor and Principal Accompanist with the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus he had the honor of collaborating with Andrew Lippa and Stephen Schwartz on an exciting new choral piece, Songs of the Phoenix. Nick has performed with the Grammy Award winning San Francisco Symphony, recorded and composed music for the Netflix documentary BARRY & JOAN, and recorded at Skywalker Sound with Leslie Ann Jones.
