Nik West is a 24 year old, young electric bassist and singer. She has worked for artists such as, Dave Stewart of Eurythmics, Prince, John Mayer, and Glee. West was born in Phoenix, AZ. It was there that her father T. West taught her how to play the rhythm guitar when she was 13-years-old. West’s family includes her sisters (keys, drums, violin, and guitar) who were her first band and singing act, and an older brother, a few of which she still records with today. Though she began her musical journey playing the guitar, she discovered the bass in high school while listening to Michael Jackson's "You Wanna Be Startin Somethin". Although West’s father taught her and her siblings how to sing at a young age she has always considered herself more of a bassist than a singer. So much so that she intended for her debut album— Just in the Nik of Time —to be an instrumental project. “The producer I was working with, told me I have a wonderful voice and I need to sing,” says West. “I ended up doing it and I kind of like it now.” While working on her first album “Just In The Nik of Time”, Dave Stewart of Eurythmics also became acquainted with West’s work, reached out to her to work with him on several projects. Later she also began working with Stewart and Grammy-winning songwriter/producer Glen Ballard (Alanis Morissette, George Strait, and Michael Jackson) on a recording project. Since then, Nik has accompanied and jammed with a few well-known artists, such as Prince, John Mayer, Ma
