A classically trained vocalist, Nick spent much of his youth aspiring to become an opera singer. That is, until he encountered the Lord. Nick gave up the career he had been working towards to become a youth minister, then church music director, then pastoral associate, then director of marriage and family life ministries for the Diocese of Toledo. Nick was the co-host of the internationally acclaimed podcast “The Catholic SIP,” and hosted a 3 minute daily scripture reflection called “Awaken the Word” heard on Catholic radio stations around the country and online. Nick has served as musician and speaker for Dynamic Catholic, Renewal Ministries, Extraordinary Mission and Life Teen retreats, conferences and events. He is now the president of Awaken Catholic, whose mission is to awaken hearts and minds to the beauty, truth, healing, and power found in the Catholic Church. Currently, Nick hosts “The Awaken Catholic Show,” and “The Nick De La Torre Show,” and composes music with his wife Alina.

  • Nick as a speaker at a conference, retreat or event, will bring a solid message, a strong understanding of and fidelity to the Church, and a witness of authentic discipleship.

  • We were so blessed to have Nick and Alina lead a mission at our parish! They were engaging, uplifting, and energetic, while at the same time calling people to deepen their Catholic faith. Many of our parishioners related to Nick's testimony. We received A LOT of great feedback. People of all backgrounds can benefit from the message and music this couple has to share.

  • I have known Nick De La Torre for over a decade. He is a faith-filled, talented musician and speaker. His love for God is evident in all that he does. For the past several years I have also gotten to know Alina who shares Nick's faith and abilities. Nick and Alina compliment one another beautifully. I highly recommend them as presenters and leaders of praise and worship. Any parish would be blessed by their presence.

  • They have very interesting stories. And they do it through their stories, but also through their music. They're both very strong and great composers.
