South African-born, Los Angeles-based solo artist Nick Leng captivates listeners with his unique blend of melancholic tones and intricate sonic textures. Leng’s music is best experienced on twilight walks, when fading light and lengthening shadows invite introspection. Leng crafts soundscapes that inspire reflective moods and capture the essence of transitional moments.
Raised on classical music, Nick Leng's musical career began at the age of 12 when he started playing with his father in rock bands. While studying piano performance in San Diego and immersing himself in the local (Low End Theory- esque) beat scene he released his ep “Drivers.” Four years later, his debut album "Lemons," received widespread acclaim, with the track "Music to Clean the House To" featured in Apple commercials and "Lonely Shade of Blue" landing on FX’s "Fleishman Is in Trouble." Leng’s next album “Spirals,” (2022) envelops listeners in an immersive world, seamlessly combining elements of electronic and classical styles. Known for his visually stunning music videos, including the Vimeo Staff Pick "Beetlebugs," Leng has garnered praise for his artistic vision and innovative approach. Recent releases like "Monkey’s Wedding" and collaborations such as "Birds" with Lily Honigberg, continue to push the boundaries of his sound, drawing inspiration from classical composers and experimental techniques.
