Swiss-born, UK-based guitarist Nicolas Meier has carved a reputation out as one of the world's most original and uniquely talented guitarists. Drawing from a love of Turkish, Eastern & Middle Eastern music, Flamenco, Tango and more, Meier's versatility and musical fluency extends well beyond even that (so much so, that his considerable talents drew the attention of rock guitar legend, Jeff Beck, who made Nicolas a mainstay in The Jeff Beck Group carrying him on two world tours).
Never short on ambition, Meier founded his own record label, MGP Records, in 2009. To date, he's produced twelve albums: as a solo artist, in various group formats (the Nicolas Meier Group, Nicolas Meier Trio, Eclectica!, Nicolas Meier World Group); with his heavy metal band, Seven7, and, in a duo format, with long-time partner, fellow guitarist and collaborator, the fabulous Pete Oxley (their 2015 release, "Chasing Tales," was a masterful, benchmark album, in the dual-guitar format.)
2017 was a breakthrough year in which Steve Vai's Favored Nations Records released Nicolas' solo album, "Infinity." The album was recorded in LA and performed in a trio format, featuring fellow virtuosic veterans, Jimmy Haslip (bass), and Vinnie Colaiuta (drums). Most recently, Nicolas released two new albums on MGP: the well-received duo album with Pete Oxley, "The Alluring Ascent," and his World Group's "Peaceful" , supported with a 50-date tour. 2020 saw the release of the World Group "Live" album recorded at Colchester Arts Centre, the Meier Budjana Group album "Flying Spirits" featuring Jimmy Haslip, solo guitar album "Stories" and metal album "Escapades". Having made a lasting impression on the great Bill Bruford, Jeff Beck & Steve Vai, Nicolas Meier is unquestionably one of today's most well-round and masterful up-and-coming talents on guitar.
