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 with the New West Symphony performing the Shostakovich First Piano Concerto. He later developed his jazz voice at U.C. Berkeley, connecting with audiences through creative musical ideas and energized improvisation.
His most recent songs shift his improvisational background into jazz-influenced, groove-oriented organic house music. 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 contemporary jazz catalog includes Blue Horizon (2022), a project with Craig Hall, Dan Koloski, and Jim O'Sullivan. All five of his original albums have been featured on various radio shows, playlists, and music publications worldwide. His work draws on the jazz traditions of Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea, contemporary voices like David Benoit and Jeff Lorber, and the dance grooves of DJ Tinzo, Berlioz, and St. Germain.
