Ridin' With...

Nasser Bouzida has been playing and composing since 15, after first bashing out rhythms on his mum’s pots and pans. He made his TV debut on Saturday Superstore at 12, then picked up drums, percussion, bass, piano, keyboards, production and mixing.

He formed The Loafers at 15, backing Laurel Aitken for two years and regularly supporting Desmond Dekker and Bad Manners. Since then he’s played with Skooby, Espadrille, Big Boss Man with Trevor Harding, and The Bongolian.

He’s also contributed to recordings by Morcheeba, Prince Fatty, Holly Golightly and The Link Quartet, collaborated with Fay Hallam, and remixed Paul Weller’s The Bottle. This solo set follows his 2023 album and 7-inch, with all instruments played by Nasser Bouzida except flute and sax by Simon Currie.
