I had the most wonderful conversation with multi-award-winning musician, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, producer, composer, presenter and DJ, Nitin Sawhney. His musicianship and compositions embrace the entire universe of music from jazz to flamenco to world to electronica. He has written, performed and played with the likes of The London Symphony Orchestra, Sir Paul McCartney and Sting. The fruits of his labours range from writing solo albums, collaborating with musical royalty to writing scores for Hollywood blockbuster films. He's been awarded a CBE for his services to music. In fact, he has received so many awards and accolades, Wikipedia has had to list them by year! He was also part of a comedy duo and all this came after training as a lawyer and an accountant. This conversation touches on many areas of his career and life, the highs, the lows and the extraordinary. At times unexpected, shocking, healing and inspiring, I am so grateful to Nitin for his time and his candour. This is a conversation not to miss!
