We had the good fortune of connecting with Nick County and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nick, what’s something about your industry that outsiders are probably unaware of?
Everything is a product, even people! Its been helpful to consider that music is just like any other unit of commerce that moves around squirrely and you cant always put your finger on what its doing or what its worth… its a scary time, but if we all can just lighten up and dance a little more, maybe the tides of late capitalism and the inevitability of our doomed failed world will hopefully go down a little easier cuz we know based on how we are, it couldn’t have happened any other way (:

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Hi! Love Shoutout! been reading yalls shoutouts for years. Positive energy! So good! I have a Zgen holistic social good MLM wellness product/LLC/music album/ tech collage, called COIN OF GOLD that is very in the works at this moment.

Our value prop is helping young professionals heal themselves thru the cosmic properties of dance music. We aim to help our customers attain wealth, attract a mate, or achieve spiritual balance through ingestion of our musical product and conformation to our lifestyle brand and the properties therein.

Ingest COIN OF GOLD (:

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I love these. I’m a bit of a hermit, but I do get out once in a while. First, I would take this best bud to Jimbos on Virginia Key for some smoked fish, bocce ball, and cavorting with the good people who frequent!

Next, because Miami, we would have to get on the water! A dear friend with the same first name as me gave me a couple kayaks and i would float this hypothetical other friend on a smooth paddle to an undisclosed island in the bay where we would be very safe and ensconced in the sublime power of biscayne bays natural beauty. HASHTAG!

Then, if the hour wasn’t too late, we could sojourn to one of my favorite local watering holes, THE HAPPY STORK LOUNGE, where we could place a friendly wager on a game of chance with the loquacious bar keep and the dice would flow until the wee hours where perhaps we would want to keep the gamble going just a little bit longer and we could retire to one of my favorite friendly neighborhood casinos, DANIA JAIALAI for some late nite texas hold em florida style.

We would probably, foolishly, stay up all night, then fortify before needed rest with a homemade challah french toast from the venerable kosherish, Josh’s Deli in Surfside. Beyond his culinary genius, the Josh has got great taste in music.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
This is such a beautiful time to be in Miami if you make music or if you like to go see live music. I’m so excited for some recordings projects that are in the works right now. My Coin of Gold buds like Ana Paz, Rick Moon, Cesar Paniagua, Cesar Andres, Jacques, April Nicole, Timothy LaRoque, Eric Escanes– it seems like everyone who worked on this project has released great music since, or is working on something new. There is so much good music being made in Miami these days– big shout out to fazeonestudio and Brian Lange. Brian is a world class drummer and a world class guy, and now he brings all that dedication, craft, care, and good vibes to having a physical space to record music. We had the best time recording there and can’t wait to go back!

Also, playing a show to celebrate a wonderful album my friend Rachel Angel just put out. We’ll be playing 10/8 @ The Center for Subtropical Affrairs– another very shoutoutable venue/botanical garden/community space. Come hang!
