Welcome to the World of I Am Hologram

Thank you for taking the time to explore my Electronic Press Kit. I’m Richard Nihil—a musician, a U.S. Army veteran, & the heart behind I Am Hologram.

For years, I’ve traveled the country in my minivan, performing in 47 states & covering over 100,000 miles. Along the way, I’ve experienced the beauty of life’s fleeting moments & the connection that comes from sharing music with people from all walks of life. My performances are deeply personal, blending storytelling, raw emotion, & music that resonates long after the last chord fades.

Beyond the stage, I document my journey through social media, where many follow the adventures & reflections of a life spent on the road. For me, it’s about more than music—it’s about the connections we make & the stories we share.

If my journey speaks to you, I’d love to bring I Am Hologram to your stage. Thank you for considering me, & I look forward to the possibility of working together.

Thank you for your time & consideration,
Richard Nihil

"Richard, I Am Hologram, is one of the most diverse, authentic, and creative musicians I have met and hired. After 25 years in the music industry, I am continually impressed by his performances and growth as a musician. He reliably works with our brewery to customize sets to fit a mood, holiday, or particular audience. If you communicate what you're looking for in musical entertainment, Richard always delivers."

I am a fan of all the artists, Joe stood out to me because of his guitar playing talent & his flawless knowledge of music from the 20s, 30s, & beyond.
