2022. a snapshot.
2022 has been another challenging year for everyone.
Like many, this year has thrown a lot at me but I know that I am starting 2023 a stronger person for it. Despite this and reflecting on the life my music has been given by performers, I have been bowled over with the generosity and jaw-dropping talent of those I have collaborated with in 2022. My music has reached further than ever before and that's all thanks to you, performed by friends old and new.
Thank You
Thank you to all my friends, family and followers who have supported, loved and inspired me. As a quick whistle-stop tour through the year, here I share some of the highlights and celebrate the supporters and collaborators who have shown their love in 2022...
Here’s to a successful 2023, filled with love, laughter and music-making!
Much love, Nx

Brecon Choral Festival’s 2025 theme will focus on the great Welsh religious poet R.S. Thomas. Entitled 'R.S.
