With Nick Belcher
Also credited as Nicholas James Belcher
Nick Belcher (Nicholas James Belcher): Los Angeles singer-songwriter, USC Popular Music, lead vocalist of Hammer City / The Hammers. Luke Francis Walton was recording engineer on the band's Heartquake Saga EP (2016), then featured Belcher on the 2018 single Next Time on Dragon Ball Sd and on three Dragon Ball $d tracks (2020). Belcher also sang Friend Like Mine on the Phineas and Ferb finale O.W.C.A. Files. Walton did not write the Hammer City songs; Belcher did not write the Scoobert tracks.
Los Angeles singer-songwriter, USC Popular Music graduate; SoundCloud describes the sound as fusing rock and EDM. The April 2014 USC Thornton Pop Showcase at the Troubadour put FEiN, Nina Francis, and Belcher on the same senior bill. That cohort bill precedes every credit below.
The Phineas and Ferb Wiki has him as Nicholas James Belcher and bills him as lead singer of The Hammers, which corroborates the band identity from outside this catalog. He sang Friend Like Mine on the Phineas and Ferb finale O.W.C.A. Files, his only song in the series. It is also the answer to why Dragon Ball $d suddenly gets opera at track six: not a random guest, but a belter with a Disney-channel credit dropped onto Namek.
The two directions run opposite ways. On Heartquake Saga (2016) Belcher is the artist and Walton is the engineer: Belcher wrote and fronted, Walton recorded at Tiny Giant, Frank Rosato mixed. On the Scoobert releases it reverses: Walton wrote, played, mixed, and mastered, and Belcher is the featured voice. Neither wrote the other's songs.
