NICK GARRETT --

Bass-baritone, pianist, songwriter, arranger. He's sung over 33 major operatic roles, performed in front of millions, including royalty.

Nick was a founding member;and bass-baritone, for the multi-million selling artist Amici forever, composing and arranging all the vocal arrangements on their most recent album Defined.



Nick is now embarking on his solo recording career and as a true classical crossover performer, Nick Garrett has done it all. In a recent press interview Nick explains,"'crossing over' means that I am first and foremost an opera singer, but I love experimenting and I have a connection with world music and jazz, easy listening and rock and pop, as well as classical music. I do think that crossover needs to evolve. Its not good enough now just to overlay a beat with some strings. Audiences have become more sophisticated and they want to see real talent and true ability from a cross-over artist. After all how can you be cross-over if you havent crossed-over from anywhere? I enjoyed arranging Defined for Amici forever. I am proud of my contribution to the album and although I no longer sing with the group its gratifying to know that my music lives on through them." According to the HMV review, "Garrett, has the knack of identifying what famous classical melodies will work for voice and cleverly rearranging them as Italianate operatic showstoppers." Having taught himself to play the piano from the age of seven, Nick was accepted by Trinity College of Music to study singing, composition, piano and conducting before wining a much coveted singing grant from the Wolfson Foundation. Since the launch of his official website , a staggering 1 million visitors have hit the site within just 5 months and his VIP Inner Sanctum Members are growing daily. Whether performing live or on CD, the unmistakable, rich and powerful voice of Nick Garrett resonates in the hearts and minds of all who hear him. Listen to his own compositions and see why he has been tipped by the music press as "the one to watch in 2006."
