Nix Northwest
2023 Step Up Awardee
Nix Northwest’s love for music began from a young age; inspired by his guitarist dad and the musical taste of his mum, he began his musical pilgrimage with piano lessons, which manifested itself into a love for jazz after being gifted a Bill Evans CD as an early teen.
Although flirting with writing as the years progressed, it wasn’t until Nix attended Leeds College of Music that his music career began to take shape. It was there that he met friends, counterparts and later collaborators such as Lausse The Cat and B-ahwe, who helped push his musical skill as well as his individual artistry.
