Jessie Nickes of Statesville was recently named a finalist in the Song of the Year (http://www.songoftheyear.com/) songwriting contest.
Song of the Year is an international songwriting contest supporting VH-1's Save the Music Foundation. The Song of the Year judges are some of the biggest names in music including many Grammy Award winners.
Song of the Year recognized Nickes for his exceptional songwriting ability for the song "Pictures."
Nickes competed against songwriters from all over the world. When asked what inspired the song he commented that "six months after the love of my life had been gone, I looked around and noticed every picture I had was a picture of her with me. I then realized, 'the only thing I can't see is a picture of her without me,' and a song was born."
Currently Nickes is concentrating on his music career while hoping to get a record deal and obtain publishing for his music.
