Artist’s Statement: Songwriter/Composer, Architect, Film Maker and Philosopher.
The artist Nigel Thomas is a revolutionary British songwriter, residing in the Caribbean (Trinidad & Tobago). “Crossing the Sahara” is his first release in what is envisaged as an adventurous and eclectic musical journey to come, embracing 70’s Rock , early Blues, Gypsy Jazz, Medieval, Baroque, Moroccan, Flamenco and even Middle Eastern styles of music.
The Artist performs with his guitar and cites Jimmy Page, Les Paul and Django Reinhardt as highly influential in his musical development. He believes that lyrics and melody should be organically related and that a song should have an interesting hook and an exciting bridge/solo to engage the listener directly. He is not afraid of speaking out against the ills of the world and believes in the visceral nature of music as a universal form of artistic expression.
