Early life

Nikhil D'Souza was born and brought up in Mumbai and majored in Geology from St. Xavier's College, Mumbai but returned to his musical roots after an encounter with a friend.[4][5]

Career

Nikhil's genre and musical style can be loosely defined as eclectic acoustic guitar-based pop. His songs have a full melodic quality to them due to his use of alternative tunings (favoured by such artists as Nick Drake and Jeff Buckley). Nikhil's major musical influences are Sting and Jeff Buckley.[3] He was the South Asia Soloist Winner at SUTASI '09.[6]

Nikhil has released four songs with East West Records, a label owned by Warner Music UK. These include Silver and Gold and Beautiful Mind.[7][8]

Rolling Stone Music Magazine in India has favourably featured Nikhil's music several times: Neha Sharma from Rolling Stone said his "strength as a songwriter is well established in his numerous gripping compositions. Most of his songs shiver with this arresting melancholy as his falsetto glides over twangy guitar riffs”.[9] India Today also included Nikhil as part of their "Faces of the Future," and he has featured on MTV's COKE Studio series and Sofar Sounds.^{[citation needed]}
