Nicholas Brian Marsh was born in Palo Alto, California. Marsh's father is from Blackpool, England and his mother is from Mountain View, California. Marsh began playing guitar at the age of 10, and at 11 had begun tooling with 4-track tape recorders. Marsh grew up playing in punk bands and was an avid soccer player. After attending Berklee College of Music for a brief stint, Nick gave up garage bands and moved onto electronic music and DJing.

Together they worked on a number of releases including the Grammy award-winning " FAME" and the Grammy nominated " Graffiti", and the Grammy nominated "Fortune". In the Summer of 2011, Marsh left Free School to perform/DJ under the name "Public", and continued to write and produce with various songwriters and artists.
