“It’s all about your mindset and understanding what’s important to you no matter how popular or unpopular you are,” says Nick Spreigl, a native to Colorado. Nick is a skilled drummer in the new group “Air Dubai,” a band on the rise that has gotten very popular lately because of their interesting type of music.

As much as he enjoys what he does, he won’t let fame overcome him. “I’ve seen people at my level of success completely buy into the idea that they’ve ‘made it’ and that they’re someone who’s more important than other people, but it’s just an illusion,” says Nick.

Nick doesn’t want to be like other bands. He would rather strive to create an original style of music then to succumb to the norm. They have created their own type of band and have strayed far from the normal alternative music today. Their music is a new interesting type of music that people have fast caught on to.

Not only is he not driven by fame, he is also very committed to what he does. He is very involved in his band, and really strives to make it the best it can be. It’s the one thing he can dedicate himself to in order to really break free from the world.

One of his greatest goals is to always continue improving and always to enjoy what he does. Drumming is a hobby that he can continue and never get bored of. “I plan to keep growing and enjoy every opportunity I get to play.” Says Nick.

Nick can really be an inspiration for all musicians to go the extra mile. He does his best and uses most of his time trying to improve his skills on the drums. Musicians can learn from him and strive to live life to the fullest, just as he does with his instrument.
