About NIJI
Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My parents had a band. I used to follow them all around London watching them play. At the time I didn't know I was learning the foundation of performance. My dad plays 5 instruments and he started me on the drums, I would play every weekend!
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Gregory Porter, Be Good (Deluxe Edition) Kano, Hoodies All Summer Stevie Wonder, Songs in the Key of Life SITKOL: Needs no explanation - timeless, and I'd take it anywhere! Be Good: The song writing, the compositions... truly timeless, I can listen to Greg forever! Hoodies All Summer: Growing up in East LDN, this album is a perfect representation.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Somewhere in the Middle” Somewhere in the Middle is special to truly special to me. It represents such a pivotal time in my life. Creating it was super fun, every part I wrote, from the drums to the bass & horns. I wanted it to have the East London greeze to it!
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Man, so many moments! But I'd say the one that holds true to my heart was playing a headline show at Royal Albert Hall in the Elgar Room. Playing on Elton John's piano... special!
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I've always wanted to play at Wembley and Red Rocks. I've played a gazillion venues & arenas, but these two I can't wait to play!
