Nick Mulvey started out playing guitar and singing with the Portico Quartet, a London jazz group, before going solo. His first album "First Mind" came out in 2014, built around acoustic guitar and quiet, thoughtful songwriting.
His second album "Fever to the Form" in 2016 got more attention, with the title track becoming a recognizable song. That record was nominated for the Mercury Prize. Other songs like "Mountain To Move" and "Cucurucu" show his style of fingerpicked guitar patterns and calm, steady vocals.
He writes about nature and relationships in plain language, and his music stays mostly acoustic with some electronic touches in the background. There's not much drama to the story, just a guitarist who made a couple of albums that found an audience.
