I don't need I don't think oh The I don't be pursuing.
There's so the very simple question. I'm gonna turn this off. Um, just tell us your name and what it is that you do.
Who is Medium Build and how did he choose his stage name?
I am
Nick. That's what my mom calls me. I make music under the name Medium Build. And I write little emo journal entry songs and travel around the country yelling them at people. Does anyone call you Nicholas or is it always Nick? When I was in high school I changed my Facebook name to Nicholas so that I would know or maybe college so that I would know when people didn't know me. Cause then when strangers come up and they're like Nicholas I'm like, oh you only know me online.
It was a trap. Right. It's a trap.
It's a trap. Yeah. And so I I'm Nick is my like Nick is my friends, what my friends call me. But then now I also have like people will call me Nikki C. Like that's a like a joke. Someone started calling me Nikki C. And so then I kind of leaned into it. So then fans will be like, Nikki C. I'm like, oh, it's okay. It's like it's just one little barrier, but I call it medium build so that people wouldn't know. I'm I'm always trying to obscure people. Well knowing. Yeah. Yeah. But then hilariously telling all of my dirt in song form. So really a fucked up.
But you're really fucking up there. Yeah, yeah. Where did the name medium build come from? I feel like you don't have a medium build. You're a tall build. It's got a pretty medium build. What is you're a tall build. Medium yeah, what is medium build?
I feel like it came to me through like crime sh dramas, like it in like CSI or Law and Order. They're like the perp or like the dead body is always like like six one, medium build or whatever. And I just loved that. It's such a vague concept. Completely. Who who is that? I've never been uh lucky enough to be able to wear a medium shirt. You know, I'm I'm always lived in a Yeah, I'm XL. Since I've lived
in America, I've gone from L to XL. Yeah. Which is very humiliating. From our food or just I think from food. Just from your portions being so big. I just you put on an extra layer. The processing in it too probably doesn't help. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And also I'm getting older, so I think you just keep more weight on.
Well, the XL is cool. It's like
Like a XL feels like a is cool. I feel like it's becoming more fashionable now. So maybe that's partially what's happening is oversized
is cool. Also, I feel like ban merch when you buy it, we were talking about this Kumo 99 shirt I'm wearing earlier. I feel like different sizes in merch now, XL is a different. And different brands. It gets very confusing. It is a
terrifying thing confidently ordering merch, and then it's it's you know, you go home and you get it out, and you're like, Oh fuck. Can never
because you're not putting it on in that queue, uh you've got people lining up behind. But you guys
aren't you put yeah, I'm like taking sheriffs. Because you either join you put it, you do the classic, like hold it up, and your friend is like perfect, or the merch.
person is like it looks amazing get the fuck out of my line you know and then you get home and it's it's like a Hanes beefy tea and it turns into an L
yeah
the next day.
Yeah and you spent a lot of money on them you know it's expensive those teas and if you get a hoodie my God it's $110 just gone.
I sell that shit and I'm mortified by the prices.
What what brand are you using for your t-shirts?
We are I'm obsessed with trying to get the quality of the merch up. You know, you start dog shit because you it's all you can. Haynes and Gildan. Yeah. And then well comfort colors comes my favorite. But comfort colors got bought by Gildan. And it the quality has gone down. I don't know if you know that. Comfort colors used to be its own thing. Yeah, I I love comfort colors. Six years ago, they maybe five maybe it was COVID, they they got bought by Gildan.
What was the inspiration behind the name “Medium Build”?
So now they're a little bit not it. So there's new other ring spun type of like that woven kind of thickness.
Okay.
If I'm gonna charge you like we just went on tour with Mumford and Sons, and when you're opening for a big band, you have to they call it price match, so you have to sell your shit for the same price as them.
