Biography
Nicholas Brian Marsh was born on January 31, 1986, in Palo Alto, California. Marsh's father is from Blackpool, England and his mother is from Mountain View, California. Marsh began playing guitar at the age of 10, and at 11 had begun tooling with 4-track tape recorders. Marsh grew up playing in punk bands and was an avid soccer player. After attending Berklee College of Music for a brief stint, Nick gave up garage bands and moved onto electronic music and DJing. After three years of touring and DJing in the bay area, Marsh moved from San Francisco to LA and began working with the production team "Free School". Together they worked on a number of releases including the Grammy award-winning "FAME" and the Grammy nominated "Graffiti", and the Grammy nominated "Fortune". In the Summer of 2011, Marsh left Free School to perform/DJ under the name "PUBLIC", and continues to write and produce with various songwriters and artists. Marsh also co-wrote Chris Brown's smash hit "Don't Wake Me Up' which won the ASCAP award for most performed songs of the year in 2012 alongside Alain Whyte, Allessandro Benassi, Brian "BK" Kennedy, Brown, Marco "Benny" Benassi, Michael McHenry, Priscilla "Priscilla Renea" Hamilton, Ryan Buendia and William Orbit, which went number one in three countries.
