ISB 2025 Convention Presenter — Daniel Nix

Nix completed a Bachelor of Music degree at the University of Victoria, studying with legendary solo bassist, Gary Karr. He further refined his skills by completing a Master of Music degree at the University of North Texas, studying with master teacher and esteemed bassist Jeff Bradetich.

His critically acclaimed debut album, Silva Caledonia, praised as "stunningly beautiful" by Presto Music, showcases Nix's lyrical playing through enchanting interpretations of works written for him by English composer, Gavin Bryars. His recent release, Robert Xavier Rodriguez’s Romance with a Double Bass, commissioned as a gift for Nix, is a playful, virtuosic and tender musical setting of the comic short story by Anton Chekhov.

Nix is a founding member of ensembles like the Bravura Duo and the Bassinova Quartet, showcasing his versatility and leadership. As a laureate member of iPalpiti Artists International, an organization that promotes and develops the careers of exceptionally gifted musicians, Nix has performed worldwide with extraordinary talents from twenty countries.

When he's not inspiring the next generation of musicians or performing on stage, Daniel Nix can be found refining his own skills at the gym or enjoying quality time with his furry companions—Ginger, Molly, Einstein, and Toby.
