Nisse Westfelt, drummer/producer

About Me

Born 1985 in Stockholm, Nisse started playing the drums at the age of eight. He spent most of his early teens playing with different musicians coming to his basement - friends of his family of musicians. At the same time he started taking his rhythmic wizardry to lots of clubs, cocktail parties and jam sessions. A great training ground for any up-and-coming drummer!
Nisse got his formal musical training at the well known Rytmus and RML schools of music. And he's had the great opportunity to take lessons from some of the most prominent Swedish musicians, including Egil Johansen, Andre Ferarri, Micke Wennergrund, Christer Sjöström and Marcus Lewin.
Since then he's been working as a drummer and/or producer with:



Marie Picasso (Winner of Swedish Idol 2007, drums on her debut album "The Secret"
Kristiina Brask (From "Idol" in Finland, drums on her debut album "Silmät Sydämeeni")
Ola Svensson
Elena Paparizou
Erik Segerstedt (Drums on his debut album "A Different Shade" and a sommertour)
Sanna Nielsen
SAAB/Riviera, "I Am" written by Erik Althoff, Produced by Me and Erik
Tristan (Drums on "The Borderline Generation")
Don K
Douglas Carr
Wille Crafoord
Sanne Karlsson
Autopilot Society
Gonza
Stine
Ninsun Poli
Janina Lindgren

among others.

"Just a drumsolo" - a composition by me you need to hear! Guess the name speaks for itself.

"Warning" - a very cool and dark song added. All instruments and production by me.

This song expresses a much darker side of me. I must issue a warning!
