Nicholas “Quazzy” Herd is dedicated to bringing people back to a sense of wholeness.

He started going by the name “Quazzy” in 2012 after joining a music group while in film school at New York University. The study of Sound Design opened his eyes (and ears) to a new world of mixing elements from different walks of life and creating something new with them.

As the stress of life and the fast pace of New York started to get the best of him, he began to feel burnout, anxiety, and even suicidal ideation. Yoga and meditation became a saving grace, bringing him back to a feeling of himself that was both youthful and timeless.

Yoga, meditation and sound helped him find a world all his own, a quasi-reality that you can create in your life too.
