Nick Radford is an illustrator, musician, dad(ford), and record collector.

Signed to Ubiquity Records (USA) as one half of The Mighty Sceptres, Nick’s music has also seen previous releases on Freestyle Records (UK) as Frootful; remixes by Kenny Dope; tracks appearing on cult US TV show Ray Donovan and a Steven Soderbergh film; and features by Wax Poetics and KCRW. His music showcases his love of 50s and 60s soul, R ’n’ B, and jazz…the kind of thing he plays on original forty-fives with collector friends at his monthly night, Soul Cookin’.
