(1948-1974) Folk musician born in Burma but lived most of his life in Tanworth-in-Arden, England. Attended Marlborough Boarding School and Cambridge college before dropping out to pursue a career in music after being signed by Island Records. Drawing on a wide variety of influences, from classical music to music of the day such as Bob Dylan, Drake created a style of music that was both of the folk genre and was reminiscent of music from the first half of the 20th century. His first two albums, Five Leaves Left and Bryter Layter, are considered to be excellent albums in many circles. With the orchestral backing Drake's fragile baritone delivery and delicate and yet intricate finger-picking chords, Drake shines. Throughout his career, Nick Drake only performed a handful of shows and began to resent performing following a bad experience. Disappointed with his album sales, Drake became even more reluctant to perform and began to suffer from bouts of depression, anxiety, and possibly social anxiety. Drake became withdrawn and was known to spend hours staring at walls or driving aimlessly. Many friends of the day remember speaking to him and his replies were nothing more than grunts. His final album, Pink Moon, was dropped off at Island Records by Nick Drake himself and sat on a desk in the office for a week. The album was released, and was much more bare (only guitar, vocals, and a single piano line in the bridge of the title track), but still did not sell well. Drake then began to distance himself from music, spiraling further into depression. After a month-long stay in a mental hospital following a nervous breakdown, Drake began to put his life back together, getting a job involved with computers and even recording once again. His final session in Febuary 1974 yielded "Rider on the Wheel", "Voice from the Mountain", "Hanging on a Star" , and the haunting "Black-Eyed Dog". Drake continued on with his life until he died on November 25, 1974 at the age of 26 from an overdose of amitriptyline, a prescribed anti-depressant. Following his death, his presence remained low, until the 1980's when he was cited as influence by many musicians of the day. Since his song Pink Moon was featured in a Volkswagen commercial, Drake's albums sold more copies in a month than they ever did in his entire life. Since his death, Drake has been recognized and cited as a skilled musician who contributed much to the music of his day. Currently, he has received much more attention after Heath Ledger's death (in a similar manner), as Ledger cited Drake as one of his favorite artists.

The rhythm guitarist, backing vocalist and sometimes-keyboardist for the Scottish band Franz Ferdinand. He has a penchant for oddly patterned shirts and sparkly things. This is excusable, because he is German. When he isn't stealing Alex's vodka or touring with the boys, he writes and records songs with the mysterious Alexander Ragnew under the name Box Codax.
He also has a very large arse. He knows it. We know it. You love it.

The female Nick is bold, beautiful and has a sex appeal that her suitors have yet to figure out! The female Nick is professional, competitive, witty and will give her last to anyone who needs it. She can be bitchy at times and when pushed the wrong way will go off like a rogue firecracker. However, she is fiercely loyal to her friends and family. Female Nicks stand out and are natural born leaders who take advantage of their first name in male dominated work places. Nick is an attention grabber and likes to command and demand attention when she walks in the room! Sometimes misjudged as arrogant, Nick is confident in herself and is curious about how others think and act. Nick is a college educated gal and can be the epiphany of class and etiquette, yet Nick has an artistic wild side and when no one is looking she will sometimes let her hair down and unleash the beast.
Nick's features are sharp, short/petite, curvaliscious, large foreboding deep thoughtful eyes, large pouty lips/mouth, short curly hair and has a dark complexion. Being sharp and beautiful, Nick can have any guy that she wants but as an alpha female, she usually intimidates men and it will take an older secure, patient man to understand and appreciate a female Nick.
