Nikolay Cranner

Nikolay Cranner is a Norwegian/Canadian producer, composer, DJ, engineer, and saxophonist dismantling preconceptions of House music. Imbuing the genre with his distinctive blend of sophistication and grit, he brings together the classic electronic sounds infused with deep vocals, undertones of jazz, and an entrancing fusion of styles. A culmination of a lifelong passion for music, Cranner has been making his own one-of-a-kind sonic creations across the industry for years. It started as a hobby, a 10-year-old boy intrigued by all forms of instrumentation, from doing his own sister’s piano homework, and developing an interest in the trumpet. As a young adult, he experimented with jazz, funk, and blues playing with local bands. He shifted gears, picking up what would become his instrument of choice, the saxophone. As he began performing live shows, he melded his skills with the saxophone with those of DJs and eventually his own electronic works. Since his 2018 release of the “Dancin’ EP” he has continued to evolve his signature style of Vocal and Jazz House stylings with tracks like “Don’t Walk Away”, “Deep Motion”, and “Lies” as well as his 2020 EP “Moving On”. With his 2023 summer tracks “Times” and “Sunshine Living”, featuring Kieran Fowkes and Joey Law, and a series of rereleases getting ready to hit the airwaves, including his dominating track “Darkest Love”, Cranner has proven he is an undeniable talent cementing his legacy as a masterful innovator.
