I share my songs ‘A Prayer of My Own" "Fever to the Form" and ‘Every One of You’ and the joy I get from playing with patterns. The acclaimed artist and songwriter has come a long way - both experientially, musically and philosophically. Musician, composer and producer, Nick Mulvey’s work pushes boundaries in songwriting and sound, music both traditional and experimental, acoustic and electronic. A founding member of the award-winning British collective Portico Quartet, he left in 2011 to concentrate on his own material. Once solo, he released the Mercury Prize nominated debut album First Mind in 2014, and 2017’s celebrated Wake Up Now, along with a number of EPs. On his most recent album, New Mythology, our shared humanity becomes common sense and this humanity and the natural world are enmeshed. The possibility of flourishing futures becomes real. It was recorded during the pandemic in Paris with renowned producer Renaud Letang at Studio Ferber. Nick also credits his friends and family, teachers past and present who’ve helped him arrive at this point. Now Mulvey finds himself at the precipice of change and is ready to share his raw musings with the world.
