Featured Ambassador: Nick Lachey

Nick’s stardom as a singer and actor began as the writer and front-man of the band 98 Degrees, selling 10 million albums worldwide and charting several top-forty hits. In 2006, he released his enormously successful second solo album entitled What’s Left of Me, which went to #2 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart and was certified gold.

Nick is committed to doing his part to ensure all kids have access to music education, and he demonstrates this dedication time and again on behalf of VH1 Save The Music. Most recently, as an Ambassador, Nick joined ZonePerfect® Nutrition Bars and VH1 Save The Music Foundation to award $150,000 to Cincinnati Public Schools. Student grant recipients from Shroder Paideia College Prep Academy took the stage to perform a rousing set for him with the instruments they received in October, courtesy of VH1 Save The Music and funded by ZonePerfect Nutrition Bars.

Additionally, in partnership with www.MyWorkButterfly.Com Nick generously participated in a “Dream Date Auction” which raised funds through an online auction to benefit the Foundation.

Currently, Nick is busy putting the finishing touches on his highly anticipated third solo album, which is set to be released in 2009. He is also Executive Producing a show with MTV set to air this spring based on the lives of students at his beloved alma mater the School for Creative and Performing Arts in Cincinnati.
