Though the suburban Montreal native is only just in his thirties, he's already gone through more experiences, turmoil and hardships than a person twice his age. All of these experiences have shaped who he is today and are reflected in the eclectic and colourful musical landscapes he's created for his The Death of Reason debut solo album for Fontana North/MapleMusic.



Nash's musical influences range from the alterno-indie-cynism of Beck to Phoenix, the quirkiness of Cake to Spoon, the rhythms of reggae and the haunting vocal touches of Failure and Depeche Mode. He takes elements from these artists and infuses them with unique arrangements, unusual instrumentation, danceable beats and memorable hooks to create a sound that's truly his own.



Catchy lead single "Sad Robot Harmonies," which features a superior video directed by eight-time Juno Award nominee and three-time winner Christopher Mills (Modest Mouse, Broken Social Scene, Blue Rodeo), is a great example of Nash's approach on the album. Nash has composed the score for Long Gone Day, a film loosely based on the life of deceased Alice In Chains singer Layne Staley.
