Background[edit]
Monteleone was born in Pensacola, Florida, the eldest of four children. His father, a musician, was in the US Navy., and his mother held several positions to support the family while his father was away on duty. He showed an affinity for music and acting at an early age, growing up in Milton, Florida and taking music classes from the age of 7. When he was 11, his family moved to central Florida where Nick studied music theory, violin, and double bass. A year later, his family moved back to Milton where Nick became involved in his church's theater group. At age 17, Nick worked as a host on the local television show The Fox 15 Breakfast Club TV show on WPMI-TV, the Gulf Coast Fox affiliate at that time before they switched with WALA-TV, which was then the NBC affiliate. After several productions with Pensacola Junior College and the Seville Dinner Theater, Nick created his first production company in Pensacola. Monteleone moved to Chicago to attend college at Columbia College Chicago, where he co-founded his second production company[1] and began several collaborations as a composer on film projects.
