TY NIC releases his debut single “Sweet Memories” from his freshman studio album “My Journey”. The 20 year old transgender singer is a business student at College of Dupage . Considering Nic’s life experiences—including his parents’ divorce at age 2 and reconnecting with his father during his teenage years after a decade of not speaking—it is no wonder the singer wants to inspire other LGBT individuals to fully accept and love their identity. “The main theme is to not be afraid of who you are just because someone says differently,” Nic said. “Basically, just be you. If you don’t like who I am, I’m sorry: I can’t help but be me.” My Journey is Nic’s roar to the world; he said it’s to let young people know who they are and that all youth must be respected and encouraged to follow their true selves. He sings, “You won’t listen, but you wanna give your advice / You say you love me, but you don’t know what I’m feeling.” Nic tells his family, friends and cynics in the chorus, “Let me paint a better picture for you.” Nic’s family is quite musical; his father sings and owns a recording studio and record label in Appleton, Wisconsin. About a year ago, Nic travelled north to visit his father and they decided to jam in the studio while catching up on each other’s lives. Burton came up with a beat Nic liked and the young singer paired the melody with lyrics about his transition and struggle to overcome detractors. Organically, “Who I Am” came into fruition.
His father said, “Let’s tell your story. Get out what you feel.” Nic has never taken a singing lesson, but his Justin Bieber-esque vocals possess more depth and drama then the fading teen sensation. Nic wants My Journey to highlight his voyage from childhood as a young girl to being bi-curious, bisexual, lesbian and then transgender. Nic wants to incorporate several genres of music into his freshman album, including acoustic and house tracks. Burton has a message for parents with transgender offspring: Support your child. “Forget about what society says, what your church says and what other people say,” said Burton. “Your child is your most important commodity and you must support him or her no matter what.” Burton recently founded his record label and he believes fate brought his child back into his life at this opportune moment. He said, “Ty is a talented singer and this is something I have done my entire life. I really believe this is God’s plan and I am just enjoying the ride.” Nic turns 21 on July 25, and he is excited to go out in Boystown for the first time, among other things. He has no plans to stop recording music after My Journey debuts on ITunes either. According to Nic, “I love the studio setting. I am a performer. It’s in my blood and I love it.”
