He sang in a rock covers band called New Jersey for 10 years. After the band went their seperate ways Nigel started to persue a solo career, seeking that oh so elusive recording contract.

When an opportunity to enter a TV reality talent show came up, he auditioned and managed to get in. That show was called Fame Academy, and was shown on BBC1, BBC Choice and interactive digital from October to December 2002. The show was a cross between Pop Idol and Big Brother, with the 'students' having to eat, sleep, train, study and prepare for a Friday night live showdown under the 24/7 glare of TV cameras. Nigel was the sixth student to be evicted.

Nigel secured some loyal fans whilst in the Academy who remain steadfast in their support for him. Since leaving the Academy Nigel has been writing and put together a demo of original tracks, amongst other things, and also held a charity concert in aid of funds for his kids school.

Immediately after that concert he then had to rejoin his fellow ex-students to rehearse for the Fame Academy Live Tour 2003, 14 venues in 18 days across the UK in April 2003. The tour was a big success amongst Fame Academy fans.

What next? Hopefully someone in the music industry will see the light and sign him to a recording deal. He has a great voice, is an accomplished musician (guitar, drums, etc), and writes his own songs. A 'here today', 'gone tomorrow', 'teeny bop', manufactured singer he is most definately not! Rock on Nigel !!
