Nick Corbin

Nick Corbin is an East London-based singer and songwriter and co-founder of soul specialist label, Big AC Records. Nick was brought up with soul music constantly playing in the background, thanks to his Father’s love for the genre and obsessive collecting of rare records. Hailed by The Guardian’s Tim Jonze as having “an innate understanding of classic soul songwriting”, Nick’s co-writing credits include Laville, Emma Noble and Lack of Afro as well as Abi Farrell and Carmy Love, who have both released singles on Big AC Records. Until February 2018, Nick was the singer and main songwriter of New Street Adventure, who released two albums on the legendary Acid Jazz label: “No Hard Feelings” in 2014 and “Stubborn Sons” in 2017. He subsequently self-released his debut solo album “Sweet Escape” in June 2020, garnering acclaim from Craig Charles (6 Music), Robert Elms (BBC London) and Paul Moody of Q magazine. The highlight of Nick’s 2023 so far was opening for soul legend Billy Valentine for two nights at The Forge in Camden, with Billy telling the audience both nights how impressed he was with Nick’s craft and that he could “hear himself singing some of those songs”! Nick continues to collaborate with emerging artists on the exciting UK soul and funk scene and most recently recorded two new songs with his band, The Hang Ups, at Durham Sound Studio in Kentish Town. The songs are set for release on Big AC Records in Autumn 2023.
