Hi, I am an acoustic guitarist based in Bristol.
This is my Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/nik_davies
I have been playing the guitar for about 10 years now. Recently I've started to make a splash by writing, recording and uploading songs online, and playing a few gigs and festivals in and around Bristol. Only a couple of weeks ago I was invited to audition for a Sky Arts TV series/competition called Guitar Star. I have been really excited (as well as a bit surprised) by the attention, and I feel very inspired to play more and more gigs and write more songs, and give it all I've got really.
My style has been described as 'atmospheric'. I think this is because I pay a lot of attention to tone and resonance, and I think a guitar with a really clear tone and big sustain could really suit my style and go a long way in enhancing that atmospheric sound I strive for.
Adam Walton (BBC Radio) has played me on his show a few times. Here's what he said: "Nik is one of the most natural musicians I have ever played on my show. She specializes in these brilliant atmospheric guitar instrumentals, and does some lovely cultured, interesting interpretations of other peoples tunes as well."
It's a really generous and awesome prize and I'm very thankful to the people who have given me the heads up about this great competition.
For gigs and general updates you can follow me on Twitter: twitter.com/sputter_nik
Thanks for reading/listening.
