“If God himself came and told me I wouldn’t make it with music, I’d continue to write. Now that I do music, I understand why people call it life,” Crazie Nick says. Nicholas Williams, also known as Crazie Nick, is a junior-level business administration student at Morrisville State College. When he is not overwhelmed with his studies, he makes time for what he considers his “prime passion,” music.
Williams is a diverse musician, but most of his music appeals to the dance hall, reggae culture. He hails from Queens, N.Y., where he resides with his father, who is also a musician. Williams was born and raised in St. Ann’s, Jamaica, where he first discovered music. He recalls listening to some of his favorite artists at age nine, reading, writing and reciting their lyrics. Since then, music has become much more to Williams, as he says he sees it as a way to outsource his experiences as well as others’. Williams adopted the name “Crazie Nick” in high school. Initially, he went by the name Crazie Jim, until his father asked him “why do they call you Jim, yet your name is Nick?” The name Crazie Jim came from a local ice cream truck that went around his neighborhood as a child; the name didn’t have much relevance to Williams, but his friends thought it was funny, and crazie seemed appropriate.
