2021. a snapshot.
2021 has been another challenging year for everyone.
Like many, this year has personally thrown a lot at me and I am starting 2022 a stronger person for it. Despite this and reflecting on the life my music has been given by performers, I have been bowled over with the generosity and jaw-dropping talent of those I have collaborated with in 2021. My music has reached further than ever before and that's all thanks to you.
Thank you to all my friends, family and followers who have supported, loved and inspired me. As a quick whistle-stop tour through the year, here I share some of the highlights and celebrate the supporters and collaborators who have shown their love in 2021...
Here’s to a successful 2022, filled with love, laughter and music-making!
Much love, Nx

📀 The #albumrelease is here!
Teary to realise that I am being released on a label that I have been listening to since my teens - NMC Recordings - and that I am sharing it with such a special team of friends who have become a little foster family for the past year!
The culmination of my residency with National Youth Choirs of Great Britain is OUT THIS FRIDAY, with stonkingly good music by Amy Bryce, Joe Bates, Lisa Robertson and yours truly.

Mae’r ferch mewn stad rhwng cwsg ac effro yn clywed lleisiau, synau, lleisiau o’r gorffennol, swn o tu allan i’r carchar, swn natur sy’n adeiladu fel hunllef ble mae’r ferch yn creu sw fel cri tylluan ar ddiwedd y rhan yma. Mae’r tair golygfa operatig hyn yn archwilio profiad un o ymgyrchwyr Cymdeithas yr Iaith o’r 1980au, wedi’i rhwygo oddi wrth ei theulu a’i charcharu am ei phrotest dros hybu ei mamiaith – y Gymraeg.

It is a spectacular location as one of Ireland’s most westerly points, steeped in history (ancient and recent) and boasts a host of stunning venues.

The Cardiff Ardwyn Singers has a long track record of commissioning new music for choir. The choir's mission of championing contemporary music in concert at home as well as abroad has brought new Welsh music to a wider audience. Cantorion Ardwyn Caerdydd would now like to undertake a new project with the ambitious aim of commissioning five new pieces to be premiered in Cardiff and then to be shared through workshops collaboratively with choirs across Wales.
