Music is not just an art form for me—it's a lifeline, a form of therapy that sees me through the highs and lows of life. Each track I create is a piece of my soul, translated into sound. It's in the depths of melodies and rhythms that I find solace, pouring my emotions and experiences into each note as a way to heal and understand myself better. My music is a diary of my journey, a reflection of the inner workings of my mind and heart. When you notice an influx of new tracks, it's a signal that I'm navigating through tougher times, seeking refuge and expression through my music. This direct channel from my innermost thoughts to your ears is what makes my music raw, real, and resonant. So, as you listen, know that you're not just experiencing a song, but a chapter of my life, a moment of catharsis, and a piece of my path to healing. My hope is that it may offer you the same comfort and escape it provides me.

Check out my debut album The Divider. Thank you to all on Soundcloud who have encouraged or helped me in any way.

Singing has always provided almost an instantaneous sense of comfort. I come from a family rooted heavily in deep southern blues. I love raspy, deep vocals, growling vocals, slide guitars, electric guitars, and laying everything out within a song. As a singer, my music embodies that almost rough, unpolished, raw, and gritty essence you get listening to blues music. I love bringing rock and funk into my songs because it further just takes over you and places you where you need to be. I'm heavily inspired by Curtis Mayfield, not only because of his obvious mastery of musicianship but because he has this ability to speak on hardships in life. These things can be emotionally draining but keep you dancing at the same time. Other influences I look to include Stevie Wonder, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Lauryn Hill, Otis Redding, and Alicia Keys. When listening to my music, I hope you can enjoy it, move to it, get lost in it, and come back again.

In order to relate to your music most listeners need to be able to #pigeonhole it, if they can’t do this because you create tunes that are unique they'll likely dismiss your creativity, absorbing it years later when musicians, thinking they got there first, stumble on your sound!

I say it the way I see it, not the way THEY want me to see it!

Influenced by Gothic Music, lots of Funk, lots of Fusion, Post Industrial, Psychedelia, a smidgen of Post Punk, elements of Death and Dark Disco, traces o Trip Hop, Trap, EDM, Trance, Techno, House, Glam Rock, Nu Disco; Dub; I think you get the picture!

Named after Nick’s childhood imaginary friend, Eleanor Collides started life as a lockdown project in March of 2021 when a group of London based musicians got together to support each other in writing, recording and releasing music. Named The MusiCollective, this group has produced acts such as Pisgah, Colin Tyler, Corporate Drone and Lucoline

'People Are Taller in Real Life',  the debut album by Eleanor Collides, falls somewhere between Indie, Alternative Rock and Dream Pop. On this album Nick draws on a wide range of influences from the 90s alt-rock of Alice In Chains and Hole, British Indie bands such as Manic Street Preachers and Depeche Mode's moody synth pop

I'm a singer-songwriter from Dundee with a warm, distinctive sound and a love of storytelling through song.
