Nitin Sawhney is an Indian-British musician, producer, and composer born in 1964. He is widely recognized for his diverse musical talents and unique blend of genres including electronica, jazz, classical, and world music. With a career spanning over three decades, Sawhney has released numerous critically acclaimed albums and collaborated with renowned artists such as *Talvin Singh*, *Badmarsh & Shri*, *Boozoo Bajou*, *Zero 7*, and many more.

As the son of immigrant parents from India, Sawhney's multicultural background greatly influences his music. His compositions often reflect themes of identity, cultural heritage, and social issues. Through his innovative use of instruments and electronic elements, he creates captivating soundscapes that transport listeners to different worlds.

Sawhney's work has earned him widespread recognition and accolades including multiple MOBO Awards (Music of Black Origin) and Ivor Novello Awards. In addition to his solo career, he has composed scores for films such as "Bend It Like Beckham" and "The Namesake," further showcasing his versatility as a composer.

Nitin Sawhney’s many outstanding studio works, plus scores of soundtracks (including the forthcoming blockbuster Jungle Book), have spanned more than two decades and have seen him recognised with the 2017 Ivor Novello Lifetime Achievement Award. This, his first live album, features highlights from his ten studio albums, including 1999’s Mercury Music Prize nominated Gold awarded Beyond Skin, the millennial epic Prophesy and his latest work Dystopian Dream. Recorded at the legendary Ronnie Scott’s Club, London in 2016, these re-imaginings of old and new favourites buzz with life and joy. Expertly melding flamenco, funk and Indian ragas while branching into primeval blues, tabla breakbeats, beatboxing and much more, Sawhney and his band weave a textural tapestry of treats to the sheer delight of the audience.
