Los Angeles native, electric bass player, Nick Campbell is Nick Campbell Destroys. Nick is reinventing the jazz genre for this generation. Flipping traditional conventions on their head, Nick’s unique penchant for superimposing triadic patterns over static harmony has brought a modern twist to “getting modal,” creating a distinctive yet eccentric sound of his own.
Nick’s unconventional approach to writing music has inspired the name Nick Campbell Destroys. Spending the majority of his youth in the annals of music education, his love for traditional jazz music is the foundation for his passion project. But, it was Los Angeles’s bountiful music scene that gave it its soul.
Nick's debut album, Art, is set to release in late 2022. Art is a dynamic amalgam of Industrial Jazz-Funk music; a diverse fusion of influences spanning Frank Zappa, Nine Inch Nails, Vulfpeck and Mononeon. The body of work is void of labels and transcends music genres. A passion project in both sound and expertise, Art was produced and arranged by Nick himself.
Mirroring the musical inclusivity of his work, Nick has taken the stage with music artists of all genres. From traditional jazz bands to pop music sensations, he can be seen performing with Pomplamoose, Scary Pockets, Charlie Puth, Vulfpeck, Meghan Trainor, Raquel Rodriguez, Nigel Hall, Josh Smith, Kirk Fletcher, Michael Mayo and Moonchild (to name a few) and composing original music with bands such as Shrek Is Love and Bear Attack.
