Nick Zanca is a producer and multi-instrumentalist who makes music under the moniker Mister Lies. Born and raised in the suburbs of Connecticut, Zanca moved to Chicago for school and as a result countless nights of insomnia, he created Mister Lies. Cooped up in his down room with a hodgepodge of instruments, synthesizers and his laptop, Mister Lies recorded his first EP Hidden Neighbors, and released it in February of 2012. The trip-hop inspired record was praised on the music blog circuit and set the standard for Mister Lies' 2013 debut album.
