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 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 and never short on ambition, 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!

In 2022, a new World Group studio album entitled "Magnificent" was released, offering a 3-CD package including "Live" and "Stories". UK concerts and a European tour of 11 dates opening for Mr Steve Vai followed to promote the new album.

Nicolas' current live projects include the following:

Nicolas Meier World Group Nicolas Meier World Group has begun recording a new studio album scheduled for release in the autumn of 2026. While the album remains unnamed as of early 2025, it will be supported by a series of performance dates starting in May 2026. The new album will feature 13 new songs blending world music, "exciting grooves", and signature "crazy solos". Meier will utilise a wide range of guitars, including 12-string, steel string, nylon, fretless, and glissentar. The ensemble includes Richard Jones (violin), Alex Hutton (piano), Tom Mason (acoustic bass), Demi Garcia Sabat (percussion) and Randolph Matthews (vocal). This will be the continuation of the success of the albums "Magnificent" and "Peaceful".

Nicolas Meier Infinity Group offers a more fusion version of Nicolas' music and draws from an amazing pool of musicians, including drummers Mike Horne & Gary Husband and bassists Paul Michael, Kevin Glasgow and Arran McSporran, with Nicolas on acoustic and electric guitars. The group can also include Demi Garcia Sabat on percussion.
