David Nicholas
A brief historyAfter co-founding and running Rhinoceros Recordings in Sydney Australia in the 1980s, I moved to the UK and worked as a freelance producer/mixer/engineer until returning to Australia in 2000.
During my time at Rhinoceros, I worked on many of the significant Australian albums of that decade including, INXS’ Kick, X' and Shabooh Shoobah, Midnight Oil’s Blue Sky Mining" Richard Clapton’s Glory Road and Solidarity, GANGgajang’s Sounds of Then and Australian Crawl’s, Semantics. Based in London in the 90s, I worked throughout Europe and the USA with artists as diverse as Elton John, Pulp, Ash, Soul Asylum, Brian Adams, Sting, Rod Stewart, Marcella Detroit, Heroes Del Silencio and Johnny and David Hallyday. Achieving a US#1 with All For Love as a co-producer and numerous international #1s as a mix and recording engineer for UK producers Chris Thomas, Chris Kimsey, Phil Manzenera and French producer Pierre Jaconelli. Since returning to Australia, I continue to produce and mix for many Australian and New Zealand artists including George, Richard Clapton, Baby Animals, Drag, Diesel, Jimmy Barnes, Delta and many more, as well as working with artists on my own labels Rhinoceros Music and WhiteRhino, prouding three#1 albums, receiving an ARIA, Producer of the Year award as well as Lifetime Achievement award for my work so far. In 2009 I relaunched Rhinoceros, and in November of that year Rhinoceros Publishing was accepted as a full member of APRA/AMCOS and ARIA. In 2013, I also partnered with Szikla Technical to develop a piece of audio hardware to enable producers and engineer to work more effectively on location or at home and in 2015, we released the highly regarded Prodigal Dual Channel Strip. The next generation of home studio analogue. 2013I joined up with long time friends and work colleges Sebastian Chase and Graham " Buzz" Bidstrup to form SBD Music, launching Asquith Sessions and The Tracking Crew production team to provide streaming content for MGM and to discover and develop new Australian talent. Check it out www.sbdmusic.com I also continue to work for Desert Pea Media supporting their amazing work helping indigenous communities deal with the incredible challenges of youth suicide, domestic violence, drug & alcohol abuse and loss of culture. And I'm far from done... #makingmusiceveryday
