Impossible to categorize and in a class of her own, Nik West is already nothing short of a music legend.
The bassist has established herself as a leading figure in funk by collaborating with giants such as Prince and Quincy Jones. Dave Stewart (Eurythmics) described her as “a female Lenny Kravitz and Prince.” A musician with a powerful personality, best experienced live. A direct heir to the world’s greatest funk bassists, from Marcus Miller and Boosty Collins to Larry Graham (Sly and the Family Stone), Nik West stands out for her commanding stage presence—as a musician, singer, and dancer—with extraordinary energy and an incredible sense of rhythm that hits hard and turns any song, from the most restrained to the most flamboyant, into an irresistible dance machine. Whether she is performing on stage or recording electrifying albums, surprising audiences and racking up views on video streaming platforms with her covers—supercharged with pure rock energy—of Michael Jackson, David Bowie, or a monumental version of AC/DC’s "Back in black," the result is always the same: she dazzles us, challenges everything we thought we knew, and casts a spell while breaking free from the usual boundaries of the music world. Inviting us to bite into the forbidden fruit of her funk RnB, NikWest takes us on a journey unlike almost any other—free of constraints and barriers, as unconventional as the artist herself and far removed from convention, as one of the few bassists to lead her own band, yet strikingly effective, much like the music created by her mentor Prince. = What they’re saying = Nik West, queen of the bassists “A funk heroine as exuberant as she is incredibly talented, Nik West recently released a second album that is only ‘Moody’ in name… because it seriously rocks! Since the beginning of her career, Nik West has established herself as a leading figure in funk. A collaborator of music giants such as Prince and Quincy Jones, former Eurythmics member Dave Stewart described her as ‘a female Lenny Kravitz and Prince’… No less! A singer-songwriter and performer whose talent no longer needs proving...” (Rolling Stone)
