NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Nissan today announced the launch of its "Kickin' It with Kicks" campaign, a grassroots endeavor to help music students in Nashville hoping to break into the music industry and advance their careers.

"Nissan moved to Music City in 2006 and has been closely tied-in with the city's vibrant music scene ever since, and we try to bring some of that emotion into every product we produce," said Nick Reese, Director, Chief Marketing Manager for Nissan's CUV/SUVs. "With its headrest-based Bose sound system, Kicks drivers can get a taste of that enjoyment every time they go for a drive."

Nissan will provide students in the Nashville area who have been selected and are majoring in music or performing arts, with tools needed to help create their own music videos. Students participating in the campaign will be offered use of a branded Nissan Kicks and a Bose S1 Pro portable Bluetooth® PA speaker to create memorable performances throughout Nashville. Fans following on social media can find the latest artists and performances by following #KickinItWithKicks on social media.

Throughout the campaign, six students will have the opportunity to experience the Nissan Kicks and create music videos using the crossover. Once all six have completed their video, Nissan employees will vote on their favorite choosing one winner who will receive $1,000 that will go toward their education.

With an expressive interior and exterior design, technology to support a connected life and standard safety features, the Nissan Kicks is an excellent choice for any music fan. The Nissan Kicks comes with an available class-exclusive Bose Personal Plus audio system1, using driver-headrest-mounted speakers to deliver a 360-degree immersive experience. Standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto paired with multiple USB charging ports help keep the music playing.

"Stylish and well-equipped, the Nissan Kicks is designed to handily accommodate drivers and their belongings, including gear for that next music gig," said Reese. "We're incredibly excited to work with aspiring artists this fall and can't wait to see and hear the creativity they deliver."
