musical odyssey that reflected how exquisitely and intelligently Nitin has raised the bar of fusion music.

Nitin’s last visit to Australia was in 2010 as a guest of the inaugural Parramasala Festival of South Asian Arts. Then, he had performed with his symphony orchestra live, a score he composed to accompany the restored 1929 Indian film A Throw of Dice.

Born and brought up in the UK, Sawhney is one of the most distinguishing and versatile voices in world music today. His contributions to the world of music are wide and varied. On one hand he is a composer, songwriter and with multi-instrumental skills, while on the other he is a prolific actor, writer, director, producer, commentator and a notable disc jockey.

Sempre Bella Beauty Salon is looking to recruit Beauticians and Salon Manager. Sponsorship may be available for qualified candidate.

To his credit he has 9 highselling albums, all of which have received praise from critics, and over 50 film and television scores including BBC’s landmark series The Human Planet. Sawhney has scored for and performed with many of the world’s leading orchestras, and collaborated with and written for the likes of Paul McCartney, Sting, The London Symphony Orchestra, AR Rahman, Brian Eno, Sinead O’Connor, Anoushka Shankar, Jeff Beck, Shakira and Will Young. He has been a regular DJ with famous London club ‘Fabric’, and composed extensively for famous dancer Akram Khan, besides many theatrical productions.

Sawhney has also compiled music for videograms; the popular game ‘Heavenly Sword’ and its sequel ‘Enslaved’ are two extraordinary samples of his creation in this category.

His accomplishments include four honorary doctorates from British universities, a coveted Mercury Award nomination and fellowships from LIPA and the Southbank University. An Associate of Sadler’s Wells, he sits on the board of London’s Somerset House, acts as a judge for BAFTA, BIFA and other prestigious awards, and works tirelessly towards the cause of musical education. Ironically however, while adding these many feathers to his cap, in 2007 Sawhney declined an OBE award for ethical reasons.
