A member of the Amsterdam Singer Songwriters Guild, Luke Nyman performs regularly in The Netherlands (Paradiso, Winston, Atlantis, Fantasio, etc.) solo or with his band The Nyman Brothers, and has also toured in France and Germany. The band consists of such experienced guys like Guzz Genser (Herman Brood’s Wild Romance), Roberto Briganti (Jam Square/ I Love Faye Dunaway), Robert Kramers (Jam Square/ Tempus) as well as Luke Nyman himself.
Luke is also piano/keyboard player for other members of the Singer Songwriters Guild, Lake Montgomery, Ro Halfhide and Tony Chapman. Luke has performed live on several radio shows: AmsterdamFM, English Breakfast Radio, Radio 5, etc.
Expressing emotions with subtleness and elegance, his talent for improvisation catch you by surprise, and his haunting lyrics and melodies sooth your mind and lighten your heart.
Born in England in a musical family, Luke Nyman started to play plastic trumpet at the age of 6, and started classical piano lessons with Virginia Black at the age of 7. Starting his first band with his brothers at 12, he began writing his own songs, and continued to learn other instruments, guitar, bass and drums. Luke won several piano contests, among other The Chelmsford Music Festival. Also singing in a choir, he performed at Victoria Albert Hall in London. Luke Nyman studied studio engineering at Kingston University/Gateway Studios in London. Moving to Amsterdam in the early 90's, he studied in the renowned Institute of Sonology at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague, and started his career as a singer songwriter.
Well known in the Netherlands under the name Midi and Media Doctor, Luke is also, for more than 10 years, an established studio and Midi engineer, specialized in Midi and Audio interfaces and protocols.
