At a recent press conference during his homecoming in Quezon City, Nick expressed his deep affection for his homeland, stating, "I'm grateful that my shows in the US have been sold out, but there truly is no place like the Philippines. I love promoting my songs here, so I continuously return."

Nick is gearing up for an exciting 2025 album tour to promote his fourth all-original Pilipino music (OPM) album, "Parte Ng Buhay Ko." This heartfelt project, first released online in 2022, has resonated deeply with listeners, with its narratives striking a chord about love, pain, hope, and healing.

Renowned composer Adonis Tabanda crafted all nine songs to provide a unique and personal touch to Nick's music. Some standout tracks from the album include the poignant "Biyaya," the introspective "Paghilom ng Sugat," the passionate "Titig," the enigmatic "Lihim ng Puso," the reflective "Kalendaryo," the questioning "May Tayo Ba?," the aspirational "Pangarap Ko'y Ikaw," the yearning "Sana'y Mapansin," and the title track, "Parte Ng Buhay Ko," each offering a story waiting to be heard.
