You should definitely check out Nick Howe and his song “Crash.” It’s a lovely track that throws you off guard a bit. In the first few seconds, you might think it’s just a run-of-the-mill ballad, but then the tune shifts course and delivers an anthemic, memorable chorus. Instead of a crash landing, it takes off.
Hailing from a long line of family entertainers dating back 200 years, including May Warden from “Dinner For One,” Nick Howe is a consummate musician who never takes his foot off the gas. His relentless drive has turned minor opportunities into significant career milestones, including syncs with Cadbury’s and Angry Birds. He’s also acted in the ITV series “Lewis” and performed at Glastonbury and SXSW.
With his inherent knack for creating killer low-key hooks, Nick Howe writes to process his emotions and experiences, treating his music as therapy.
His debut EP, “Struggle Is Real,” reached No. 1 in the singer-songwriter presale iTunes charts back in 2016 and sold over 2000 copies.
Touring over 15 countries, including the US, and extensively throughout Scandinavia and Germany, Nick performs an average of 200 shows per year. He has sold out gigs at home in venues such as Cargo, Kensington Roof Gardens, and even the Natural History Museum, which he lists as a career highlight!
Nick has also co-written music with Ivor Novello-winning songwriter Iain Archer (James Bay, Jake Bugg, Snow Patrol), Matty Benbrook (Paolo Nutini, Jack Savoretti, Dido, Faithless), among others.
