Nicholls, Dan

is a keyboardist, producer and composer with a mission to defy norms and create exhilarating, genre-busting new music. He has worked extensively in the fields of African, Indian classical and improvised music, film, animation, and dance. As a core member of London’s Loop Collective he is engaged in performing in, and curating, projects which span a wide range of styles and mediums. As a composer and bandleader, he leads projects in Berlin, London and Copenhagen and has performed throughout Europe. During 2013/14 he worked as a Jazzlines Fellow, supported by Jerwood Charitable Foundation, on a research and curatorship project involving West African music and the development of new musical instruments. This led to the birth of his newest group Point X: a synthesis of techno, Gambian sabar, Ghanaian gyill, and improvised electronic music. Dan also composes for the group Strobes, which has received extensive radio play on BBC Radio 3 and 6 Music.
