Hailing from the south of France, Nelson was born to an Egyptian mother and an African-American father. At an early age, he was found to have various musical talents as well as a thirst for learning. He began piano lessons at 14 years of age. Nelson enrolled at the National Conservatory of Marseille, where he studied opera, solfeggio, harmony, counterpoint and music history and perfected his skills as a songwriter, composer, singer and pianist.

He also developed a passion for sound engineering and producing, learning the trade while “hanging around” studios. , Nelson founded his own studio, Soul Spirit, which would become the standard-setter for music recording, production and apprenticeship in his home town of Marseille.

His extraordinary ear for music and technical comprehension skills quickly earned him the trust of highly renowned artists and celebrities and allowed him to achieve gold, platinum and double-diamond record certifications by participating in projects with record sales in the millions!

While working for other artists, he also developed his career as a DJ and producer, getting several tracks into the Top 3 on Beatport, the leading electronic music platform.
