Nitin Sawhney (born 1964) is a British Indian musician, producer and composer. His work combines Asian and other worldwide influences with elements of jazz and electronica and often explores themes such as multiculturalism, politics and spirituality. Sawhney is also active in the promotion of arts and cultural matters, and is a patron of numerous film festivals, venues, and educational institutions. ==Early years== Nitin Sawhney was raised in Rochester, Kent, England, by Panjabi immigrant parents. As a child he studied piano, classical and flamenco guitar, sitar and tabla. Subsequently, he studied law at Liverpool University for a short time. It was during this period that Sawhney met up with a school friend, acid-jazz keyboard-player James Taylor. Sawhney then toured as part of The James Taylor Quartet. This experience led to him forming his own band, The Jazztones. He also joined forces with tabla player and DJ/producer Talvin Singh to form the Tihai Trio. After dropping out of university, Sawhney trained as an accountant until leaving his job as a financial controller of a hotel to pursue his promising career in music. Sawhney moved to London, where he met up with old university friend Sanjeev Bhaskar; together they created the comedy team The Secret Asians. The pair was given a show on BBC Radio, which eventually grew into the award-winning BBC TV sketch show ''Goodness Gracious Me''.〔(BBC – Comedy – Shows A-Z Index )〕 Refocusing on music, Sawhney's solo career began in 1993, when he released his debut album, ''Spirit Dance'' on his own label.〔(:::Outcaste Records::: )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nitin Sawhney」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
