The 20-year-old Endless and It Chapter Two actor just released his debut single “Different Year.”
“As much as ‘Different Year’ is about how I felt during 2020, it can really apply to any point in anyone’s life where they’ve just wanted to close their eyes, go to sleep, and wake up when everything’s fine again,” Nicholas told JJJ. “I love that DY’s going to be the first people hear of my music, too. It’s a really special song to me and it’s so cool to see how it’s evolved over time.”
“I can’t state the amount of love I have for songs that are about something so depressing and heart-breaking, but are produced in an overwhelmingly positive and uplifting way,” he added. “I wanted to achieve that with ‘Different Year,’ and I think we really got there. The plucky synths and the fingerpicked guitar melody that guides the verses allows the listener to not get bogged down with how sad the lyrics are, but instead bop their head to a chill pop tune.”

The film follows Chris and Riley, two madly in love teenagers, who are separated when a fatal accident leaves one of them stranded in limbo between life and death.
Chris watches Riley grieve in agony until they find a way to connect and share exhilarating, deeply emotional moments that transcend life and death before Riley must ultimately let go.
The 17-year-old and 16-year-old stars of horror flick It spilled on relationships, inspirations and the Nicholas‘ surprising contribution to the film. Check it:
Nicholas on suggesting his character have a mullet: “That was actually my input. Not intentionally, but I was in the hair trailer and they were deciding what to do with my hair. They were just going to spike it up and that just be it. But I heard a rumor saying that they were going to put a mullet on me. So because I told them, they was like, ‘Oh we never heard of anything, but that sounds perfect!’ But there actually wasn’t a rumor at all! (laughs) The director Andy (Muschietti) came in and said, ‘Let’s go with that,’ and the mullet was born.”
Chosen on whether he prefers music or acting: “You know, I’m glad I can do both. They kind of play off each other. The better I become as an actor, the better I become as a performer, and it just plays off both. I’m actually working on [new music] right now. I’ve been in the studio! Lyrically, it’s more R&B-ish pop-py, but the actual instrumentation of it has more of a older hip-hop feel.”
Nicholas on his relationship status: “I’m single at the moment but I’m open to it. I love keeping busy but then the other side of that is if I’m so busy, it’s hard to maintain a relationship, especially back at home (in Australia). I’ve had two long-term girlfriends in the last three years and now it’s hard having to work and then also having to maintain a healthy relationship with someone that you really care about. It’s difficult. It’s not what I’m looking for at the moment, but if something came about, I wouldn’t be devastated.”
Chosen on his biggest inspirations: “Biggest inspiration would be Michael Jackson, but currently my favorite is Bruno Mars. He’s one of the best performers of our time right now. I look up to his ability as a performer. Best Superbowl ever, in my opinion.”
