Nick Gomez is a Los Angeles–based saxophonist, bandleader, and film/TV composer whose career spans the stage, the screen, and now the tech world.
A 2004 cum laude graduate of Berklee College of Music in Saxophone Performance and Music Business Management, Nick is currently on his third American tour playing saxophone with new wave icons Haircut 100, this time in support of Squeeze.
As a solo jazz artist, his single Stimulus climbed to #5 on the Smooth Jazz Radio charts in late 2025.
His scoring credits include the 2026 feature You Are Here, Hollywood Grit (AMC), the VA’s national “Face Your Dragon” PSA, and Yanqui, which screened at Tribeca. Behind the camera, he’s an 8-time Emmy-nominated camera operator whose work includes Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Voice, and The Big Bang Theory.
In 2026, Nick founded Rehearsal Space App and launched Dispatch, a music-native email marketing platform for independent artists. He built it to solve his own problem: the tools out there weren’t made for musicians, and they were priced for enterprise businesses.

Feel stuck playing the same licks?
What if you could stop overthinking, ditch the sheet music, and take confident, expressive solos anywhere, anytime?
The free masterclass, How to Improvise With Confidence, has helped thousands of sax players break out of the rut and start playing with freedom.
It’s not about memorizing more theory. It’s about unlocking the instincts and tools you already have so you can finally solo the way you hear it in your head.
If you’ve ever felt glued to the page… avoided solos because you didn’t feel ready… or wondered why you still don’t “get” chord changes, this might be your turning point.
