Nils
Nils is a contemporary jazz artist with 5 Billboard #1 Hits and over 20 Top20 songs to his name. And his song of the decade, PCH or Pacific Coast Highway, remains the most played Smooth Jazz song since this millennium began.
Having released his latest CD “Caught In The Groove" 100% under Covid, he hit the Billboard charts at #1 on Billboard with both, the title track and his second single, "Outta Site” . His 3rd single “I Like the Way you Do it” is already #13 on Billboard and moving up the charts.
Further solidifying his place in the realm of world renowned smooth jazz artists, Nils's hit album “Caught in the Groove", has stayed at number one on SmoothJazz.com after it's release for a record breaking 48 weeks and is still at that spot today. The cool, crafty title of Nils’ latest BAJA/TSR album says it all about his studio and onstage state of mind.
