There is no
“i” in B’stro.

Meet the team.

We figure that nothing new ever happens if you just sit around finishing each other’s sentences. That could be why B’stro represents so many ages, races and nationalities. But even though we’re different, we’re in this together: working hard, reaching goals, and sharing talents. Being surrounded by peers who look out for each other brings out the best in all of us.

Not content with expanding Sin City’s musical sensibilities over the airwaves, he began to get very involved in L.A.’s music scene. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that he plays guitar, bass, banjo, accordion, and piano. read more about Nic
