A 25 year old sing- and songwriter from the Netherlands. And here is where I tell my story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-base-color has-text-color has-link-color has-cormorant-font-family wp-elements-c0f854a719be5f8539c3e85b000c3eaa\">I grew up in a small town in the Netherlands, yet from a young age, I dreamed beyond its confines. I wanted to explore the stars and be the first musician on the moon. So at the age of ten I wrote my first song, together with my father, who inspired me to make music before I could even walk. &#8216;Go to the Moon&#8217; was released, and as you might suspect, a young boy standing out like that was met with a lot of resistance from other kids. Yet they did not deter me from my dream, and when I turned 18, I decided to really leave my confines and travel to the other side of the world. There, in Australia, everything finally clicked, and soon as I returned to the Netherlands, I began my musical career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-base-color has-text-color has-link-color has-cormorant-font-family wp-elements-5787fbcba9a902271895007a6ddbdda9\">Since then I have signified what is worth most to me through my music and my tattoo\u2019s. To be authentically me is to be a musician, and that means never giving up on the dream of that small town boy I once was, and will always be.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-no-title","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-114","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lucasnicholas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/114","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lucasnicholas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lucasnicholas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lucasnicholas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lucasnicholas.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=114"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/lucasnicholas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/114\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":531,"href":"https:\/\/lucasnicholas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/114\/revisions\/531"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lucasnicholas.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=114"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
