Career

British-born producer/songwriter/musician, Nick Lashley, began his career as a guitarist in various bands in the UK - most notably, rock band, King Swamp, who released two albums on Virgin Records. Upon his move to Los Angeles in the early 90s, he immediately began carving out a career as a versatile session player. Nick was introduced to Alanis Morissette in early`95 and subsequently became her lead guitarist from 1995-2001, including her "Jagged Little Pill" period which Nick describes as "a wild ride." Nick and Alanis also co-wrote the song, "No Pressure Over Cappuccino" which appeared on her Unplugged album, and he played guitar on the #1 song, “Uninvited” and many other studio recordings. Since then, Nick has also performed and recorded with an incredibly diverse array of artists including Mick Jagger, Carly Simon, Robbie Robertson, Natasha Bedingfield, Michelle Branch, Carly Simon, Ben Taylor, Lisa Marie Presley, Avril Lavigne and 80`s Pop icons The B-52s.

In 2012, Lashley along with songwriters Danielle Brisebois and Gregg Alexander, co-wrote and co-produced many original songs for the upcoming feature film, “Begin Again,” starring Adam Levine (Maroon 5) Keira Knightley, Mark Ruffalo, Cee Lo Green and Hailee Steinfeld. Two of the songs are performed by Maroon 5's Adam Levine. The film was written and directed by John Carney who is best known for his Oscar-winning film Once (2006). Nick is one of Gregg Alexander's main collaborators.

According to his 2015 biography 'Adrenalized', Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen states Nick was on the shortlist of guitarists to replace Steve Clark in Def leppard after Steve's death in 1991. The position was eventually filled by Vivian Campbell
