HIMSELF Medium Build / Nick Carpenter

Medium Build hails from The Air Crossroads of The World,
Anchorage, Alaska. Carpenter is known to maintain an ever-evolving collaboration built around a mutual love of 80s country, grapefruit soda water, and 90s R&B. He produces deeply layered tracks by inter-mingling raw, emotionally honest lyrics with forging instrumentation. With minimal effort, he blends electronic with analog and draws the audience into sad songs you can dance to. Though this is Nick’s first time acting for the screen, he has proven he knows his way in front of the camera.
