NICK GARRETT -- Bass-baritone, pianist, songwriter, arranger. He's sung over 37 major operatic roles and performed in front of millions, including royalty.
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.
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 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."
2006 was an exciting year for Nick Garrett. He performed for Royalty, Heads of States and literally millions of TV viewers who witnessed his performances at no less than 3 major ceremonial sporting occasions. More recently he performed at the Manchester International Festival with the Young Voices Children's Choir singing The Festival Song, written by the legendary Ennio Morricone and backed by the 8000 strong choir.
