Music Biography
Nicholas Bridgman is a Los Angeles–based pianist and composer whose work spans contemporary jazz and cross‑genre production. He is classically trained, having debuted at age 16 with the New West Symphony. He later developed his jazz voice at U.C. Berkeley, connecting with audiences through creative musical ideas and energized improvisation.
His most recent songs move into jazz-adjacent, groove-oriented organic house music. They carry the signature of his improvisational background, but have a dance floor orientation. His jazz-house track, "Intentional," combines his original keyboard rhythms and harmonies with loop-based production. His latest release, "What You Think," moves further in this direction, with even more focus on groove.
His original contemporary jazz catalog includes Blue Horizon (2022), a project with Craig Hall, Dan Koloski, and Jim O'Sullivan. This and his four other albums have been featured on various radio shows, playlists, and music publications. His work draws on the traditions of Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea, as well as influences from contemporary jazz voices like David Benoit and Jeff Lorber.
