2) A nomad of modern times, who has travelled the continents with his music, Ñu is as diverse in his musical styles as he is well-travelled.

Taking influences from his various homes, the producer and trained sound engineer branched out into various genres. Through this years-long musical journey Nu then found his true calling: instrumentals amalgamated with his electronic production all held together through solid rhythms.
