Nick Sterling

Modern Guitars is pleased to announce the arrival of Nick Sterling to our pages as our newest columnist. Hailed as a "guitar prodigy" in his early teens, Nick is now a young adult who's smartly pursuing his musical ambitions.

At 14, Nick produced his first full length CD where he played all of the instruments, wrote the compositions, sang on all tracks and took the helm producing and engineering the project. The 2005 CD release, Life Goes On, gathered critical acclaim from the music industry. By the time Nick reached 16 years old he was performing with Buckcherry, Eric Johnson, Lit, Live, Cheap Trick, the Doobie Brothers, Government Mule and Blues Traveler. Sterling has moved beyond the “child prodigy” phase to build a solid career based on great musicianship and lively performances.

Nick's column, On Axis, will feature Sterling's take on guitar and gear he test drives, new projects he's taken on, recording and production and other interests that he's found himself immersed in as a performer and musician.
