Nicolas Blaizeau : Vocals


Nico started his musical training at the age of 6 (1979) with musical theory. One year later he started learning electronic organ. This will lead him to play in a church and finally to be a finalist for the European Championship in 1989.

At this same period he came to listen to bands like Mötley Crüe, Bon Jovi, Scorpions, Skid Row, Iron Maiden, Aerosmith, Slaughter, ZZ Top etc…..

After that, in december 1991, he finally decides to advertise for a place as a lead singer in a rock n roll band, mentionning all of his influences. After a few unsuccessful tests, he is engaged by a band that will be called Minuit Dix, we are on march 1992. This band will only play covers of some of the biggest hits from the rock and hard rock spheres. And according to the number of gigs they have been playing, we can say that this band was some kind of a success.

But in the beginning of the year 1994, the band broke up. So Nico, with the two guitarists of Minuit Dix, decides to found a new band called Bottoms Up. This is just a new Minuit Dix, but only with its hard rock side. The guys also decide to add songs from their own to the covers they still love to play.

In the beginning of 1995, it is the end for Bottoms Up. Nico therefore decides to set up a new band with the bassist of Bottoms Up and one of the guitarists (the other had been leaving to enter a renowned musical school in Nancy, the CNMC). The group called Positive, still plays the same kind of music and is writing its own material as well.

A few gigs later (in April 1996 to be precise) Positive splits as well. Nico decides to bring Minuit Dix back to life with his two old fellows on guitars. It will last until November 2001 when they realize that the motivation is not the same for everyone.

This brings us to the birth of E.X.I.T. in early 2002. The band is still active and has an album to its credit ( "Past or Future?" released in December 2006 through Brennus Music) and operating in a hard rock / melodic metal style.

That is during a conversation with Thierry by e-mail (they met a few years before, first through the internet and then during concerts), following the departure of Stephane, in the summer of 2007, that he accepts, at the request of Thierry, to try his luck in Kob ....
