Nicolas Neidhardt was born in Germany and moved to Paris to study with world famous concert pianist Francoise Buffet. He fell in love with Bill Evans' and Keith Jarrett's improvisations and studied jazz piano at the CIM school. His passion for synthesizers opened the doors of the parisian recording studios where he found himself next door to Prince, Tina Turner and Eurythmics. He joined the house band of the popular talk show "Nulle Part Ailleurs" and performed with Seal, Tom Jones, Nina Hagen and many others. He wrote his first N°1 Hit in 1996 (almost 1 million copies sold), became one of France's top record producers and contributed to some of the best selling records. As he felt a growing passion for music to picture, he scored 7 seasons of the top cop show "La Crim'" and additional score to Audrey Tautou's first success, "Venus Beauty Institute". After scoring "Titeuf, le film" (feat.James Blunt) in 2011, and a series of piano concerts in New York, it was time to move to Hollywood. Within only 2 years he achieved to write music for "Killer Elite"(feat. Robert de Niro, Clive Owen and Jason Statham), "Unknown"(feat. Liam Neeson) and a trailer for "Thor 2".
2014 looks like his breakthrough year as he scores 4 movies so far:
"Unbelief"(directed by Fabien Martorell, feat. Tobin Bell & Andrew Howard)
"The Wake"(directed by Faz Brahimi, feat. Allie Riviera, Brian Brewer)
"Broken" (directed by Greg Strasz, feat. Mariam Vardani
