Nikhil D`Souza is a talented guitarist and singer-songwriter from Mumbai, India. 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 (favored by artists such as Nick Drake and Jeff Buckley). Nikhil`s major musical influences have been Sting and Jeff Buckley. Over the past few years, Nikhil has been co-writing with different writers, performing solo as well as with his band and working hard at developing his songwriting and performance skills. During this time, he has performed many shows across India as well as Europe, US and Australia. Whilst in India, Nikhil is in the studio most days recording tracks for film and TV commercials, most evenings he is performing live for his large Indian following across the country. The strength of his original songs, the beautiful tones and range of his voice together with his attractive image and looks are all the ingredients of a rising international star. A distinctive feature of Nikhil D`Souza and his music is the strong emphasis on touching, melodic vocals and lyrics, backed up by skilled and unconventional guitar. Nikhil is the artist we have all been craving for and now this star is ready to rise.
