Meet and hear Nick Engbers of American Idol

We didn’t get a chance to meet many of the talented singers who made it to Hollywood on American Idol.

So I’ve compiled a series of blogs about them, based on their Road to Hollywood videos and music they’ve posted.

For a complete look at the contestants we missed, head here.

Nick is from Sioux Falls, S.D., and auditioned because of Idol’s new small-town bus tour in Season 12. But now that he’s off to Hollywood, he thinks he can bring a different style and flavor to the competition. He explains that he’s not a pop singer at all. He plays in an indie rock band and was surprised that no one in the audition room was in favor of the song he chose to sing (he doesn’t name it in his Road to Hollywood video). Oh, and Nick says he is also ready to leave the band behind and go solo. “I can sing,” he says. “I think I’m different and unique.” His father was a singer and musician and “that kind of led me into it,” Nick adds. “But if I couldn’t sing, I would go crazy. Music is everything, it’s my entire life.” His favorite past Idol contestant is Constantine Maroulis, who finished sixth back on Season 4 and went on to Broadway success.
