Nitin Sawhney
Nitin Sawhney is a producer, songwriter, DJ, multi-instrumentalist, orchestral composer, and cultural pioneer.

He has released seven studio albums.

London's Outcaste Records released the breakthrough album Beyond Skin in 1999, which was nominated for a Mercury Music prize.

Richard Branson's V2 Records signed Sawhney to a six-album deal, and released the millennial epic Prophesy in 2001 (which won a MOBO Award as well as the BBC Radio 3 Music Award).

Currently he is recording his eighth album, London Undersound, for release in 2008.

Sawhney has worked with Sir Paul McCartney, Sting, Sinead O'Connor, AR Rahman, Jeff Beck, Brian Eno, Laura Izibor, Fink, Imogen Heap, Jacob Golden, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, and Will Young.
