尼廷-索赫尼是一位作曲家、音乐家和制作人，在音乐、电影、电子游戏、舞蹈和戏剧领域工作。他已经发行了10张录音室专辑，为50多部电影和电视节目配乐，并因其合作而闻名，合作的音乐家和艺术家包括保罗-麦卡特尼、阿克拉姆-汗、约翰-赫特和安迪-瑟基斯。

他出生于1964年，父母在前一年从北印度移民到英国工作。他的父亲是一名化学工程师，而他的母亲教英语，后来在他们家乡罗切斯特的邮局工作。尼廷在五岁时就显示出了音乐的希望，他开始学习钢琴，后来还学习了弗拉门戈吉他、西塔琴和塔布拉琴。他在学校被欺负，当时国民阵线的势力越来越大，音乐成为他的避难所。

在放弃利物浦的法律学位并在赫特福德郡完成会计课程后，他成为一家酒店的财务主管，然后离开成为一名全职音乐家。在大学期间，他遇到了桑吉夫-巴斯卡（Sanjeev Bhaskar），并与他组成了一个喜剧二人组，后来成为广播和电视系列节目《善良的我》。

他的突破来自于1999年发行的第四张专辑《超越皮肤》，该专辑获得了水星音乐奖的提名。从那时起，他的职业生涯一直处于上升阶段：他已经确立了自己作为最全面的电影作曲家之一的地位，为《午夜的孩子》等电影和包括BBC《人类星球》系列在内的电视节目配乐。他在2017年获得了艾弗-诺维罗终身成就奖。

Nitin Sawhney is a composer, musician and producer working in the worlds of music, film, video games, dance and theatre. He has released 10 studio albums, scored over 50 films and television programmes, and is known for his collaborations, with musicians and artists including Paul McCartney, Akram Khan, John Hurt and Andy Serkis.

He was born in 1964 to parents who had emigrated from North India the previous year to work in the UK. His father was a chemical engineer while his mother taught English and later worked at the post office in their home town of Rochester. Nitin showed early musical promise when he took up the piano aged five, later also learning flamenco guitar, sitar and tabla. He was bullied at school at a time when the National Front was gaining traction and music became his sanctuary.

After abandoning a law degree at Liverpool and completing an accountancy course in Hertfordshire, he became financial controller of a hotel, before leaving to become a full time musician. While at college, he met Sanjeev Bhaskar and formed a comedy duo with him which would become the radio and TV series, Goodness Gracious Me.

His breakthrough came with his fourth album, released in 1999, entitled Beyond Skin, which was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize. Since then, his career has been in the ascendant: he has established himself as one of the most versatile composers for film, scoring pictures like Midnight’s Children and television programmes including the BBC’s Human Planet series. He received the Ivor Novello Lifetime Achievement Award in 2017.
