Grammy-nominated producer and multi-instrumentalist Nsikak David has released a new solo instrumental EP titled Strings of Solace. The six-track project marks a major solo chapter for the artist, who is best known for his work as a guitarist and producer for leading African acts.
The EP places the guitar at the center of its storytelling. It blends Afro-fusion, jazz, and global ambient sounds. The tracklist includes “Strings of Solace” featuring Raaginder, “Lisbon,” “Nairobi,” “Madrid” featuring Mádé Kuti, “Paris,” and “Home.” The project is now available on all major streaming platforms.
Strings of Solace is inspired by Nsikak David’s travels and life experiences across different cities. The music explores themes of movement, memory, and emotional grounding. By collaborating with artists like Afrobeat multi-instrumentalist Mádé Kuti and violinist Raaginder, David adds rich cultural textures to the guitar-led compositions.
Before this release, Nsikak David built a strong reputation as a session musician and producer. He has worked with artists such as Tems, Davido, Rema, J Hus, and Angelique Kidjo. He has also performed on major international stages, including the Brit Awards, Montreux Jazz Festival, and The O2 Arena.
This EP marks his transition from a supporting role to a lead instrumental artist. The project focuses on instrumental storytelling rather than vocals, highlighting the expressive power of the guitar in contemporary African music. At the time of this report, no music videos or tour dates have been announced in support of the release.
