Now Ex – Now Ex is the musical pseudonym for East London alt pop artist Nick Hampson. Known alongside Now Ex for his filmmaking, this is cinematic pop that was built for the silver screen, and makes the listener the protagonist. It’s captivating, layered pop music that’s as much emo as it is orchestral, as much optimistic as it is bleak and defeated.
Originally coming up in the Royal Opera as a child soloist, Nick’s voice is tinged with classical character, whilst remaining discernibly contemporary, inviting comparisons to artists such as London Grammar, Sam Smith and Jeff Buckley. This unique vocal style is combined with highly emotive storytelling and then wrapped up in an infectious pop package, creating a truly distinctive sound world that’s entirely his own.
Now Ex launched during the pandemic and accrued a global army of devoted fans across his first two EPs, whilst playing a series of packed out London shows along the way, including legendary venues like Omeara and the Camden Assembly. 2023 was a big year for Now Ex, with sold out debut shows all over Germany and a beautiful acoustic show at the iconic St Pancras Old Church in London. February 2024 will see his most substantial tour so far, with shows in Czechia, Germany, Denmark and Sweden. On 17th October, Now Ex finishes his Welcome To The Feeling Tour with a very special hometown headline show at infamous London venue, The Garage.
