2021 release. A career retrospective when you're not even 30 years old? Well, yes-if you've been performing professionally since age four and your name is Nicolas King. Act One: Celebrating 25 Years of Recordings is a remarkable release, both because it is a piece of show-biz history and because it chronicles the musical evolution of a star performer. Born of the pandemic and it's "time on my hands" state of being, King put together 17 tracks that represent a journey he considers the end of childhood and the launch into the next act of his career as an adult. The result is a compilation of new studio tracks, selections from previous solo albums, and archival numbers.
