Having made a lasting impression on gentlemen the likes of the great Bill Bruford, Jeff Beck and Steve Vai, Nicolas Meier is unquestionably one of today's most well-rounded, ambitious and masterful up-and-coming talents on guitar.

UK-based guitarist Meier has carved out a reputation as one of the world's most original and uniquely talented guitarists. Drawing from a love of Turkish, Eastern, and Middle Eastern music; Flamenco; Tango; and more – all mixed with jazz – Meier's versatility and musical fluency extend well beyond that. So much so, that his considerable talents drew the attention of rock guitar legend Jeff Beck, who made Nicolas a mainstay in The Jeff Beck Group, carrying him on two world tours during the last several years.

Meier originally hails from Switzerland, born in 1973 to parents who are great lovers of the arts. Never short on ambition, Meier founded his own record label, MGP Records, in 2009. To date, he's produced twelve albums: as a solo artist; in various group formats (The Nicolas Meier Group, Nicolas Meier Trio, Eclectica!, and Nicolas Meier World Group); with his heavy metal band, Seven7; and in a duo format, with long-time partner, fellow guitarist and collaborator, the fabulous UK master, Pete Oxley.

2017 was a breakthrough year: one in which Steve Vai's 'Favoured Nations Records' released Nicolas' brilliant solo album, "Infinity". The album was recorded in LA and performed in a trio format, featuring fellow virtuosic veterans Jimmy Haslip on bass and Vinnie Colaiuta on drums. Most recently, Nicolas has completed and released two new albums on MGP (Meier Group Productions): the already-well-received new duo album with Pete Oxley, "The Alluring Ascent", and the 2019-released Nicolas Meier World Group's pristine effort, "Peaceful", was supported with a 50-date tour. 2020 saw the release of the World Group "Live" album recorded at Colchester Arts Centre, the Meier Budjana Group album "Flying Spirits" featuring Jimmy Haslip, the solo guitar album "Stories" and the metal album "Escapades" from Nicolas' My Dark Side!

By 2022, a new World Group studio album called "Magnificent" came out. A 3-CD package including "Live" and "Stories" To promote this release, lots of UK concerts and a European tour of 11 dates opening for Mr Steve Vai.

2025: The World Group will keep touring while preparing a new album, and the Infinity Group's new music will be out soon.
