"Nick Frances Chase, was born in the back of a circus trunk in 1992. In his early teens he realized circus life was not for him and joined a band of renegade Gypsy mimes. Later pursuing a career as a Post-Modern dancer, he discovered that his thumbs were opposable. This led to the inevitable conclusion that he was, indeed, a composer and he must follow his life-long dream of baking the perfect loaf of bread."
