The bassist was able to establish herself as a guardian of the funk by collaborating with giants such as Prince and Quincy Jones. Dave Stewart (Eurhythmics) described him as "a Lenny Kravitz and a female Prince." A character musician to discover in concert.
Direct heir to the world's greatest funk bassists, from Marcus Miller to Boosty Collins, to Larry Graham (Sly and the Family Stone), Nik West is surprised by his ability to hold the stage, in turn musician, singer, dancer, with extraordinary energy and an incredible sense of rhythm that slams and transforms any song, from the wisest to the most flamboyant, into an imparable dancing machine.
Whether it occurs on stage or records deceiving albums, it surprises and multiplies the views on the video streaming platforms with its covers, boosted with purely rock energy, by Michael Jackson or David Bowie passing through a Danesque "Back in black" from AC/DC, the result is always the same, it amazes and shakes our certainties, spells us out while freeing itself from the usual borders of the musical world.
By inviting us to bite into the forbidden fruit of his funk RnB, NikWest offers us a journey as there are few, without constraints or barriers, as atypical as this artist is, far from the conventions - she is one of the few bassists leading a group - but of dreadful efficiency, like what her mentor Prince could produce.
= They're talking about it.
Nik West, queen of bassists
"Heroïne funk as exuberant as it is incrediblely talented, Nik West recently released a second album that has "Moody" only the name... So much he's moving! Since the beginning of his career, Nik West has established himself as a tutor of the funk. Collaborating with music giants such as Prince and Quincy Jones, former member of Eurythmics Dave Stewart described him as "a Lenny Kravitz and a female Prince" ... Just that! A songwriter and performer whose talent is no longer to be proved." (Rolling Stone)
