Having achieved the Ivor Novello Lifetime Achievement Award in 2017, he is firmly established as a world-class producer, songwriter, DJ, multi-instrumentalist, orchestral composer and cultural pioneer.

Nitin and his band perform tracks from his seminal album Beyond Skin, alongside other works across his 20-album career.

His major works include Beyond Skin, Prophesy, Human, and Philtre.
