Audience with a Hero - The Nile Rodgers Experience

The Nile Rodgers Experience is the result of a research and development project produced through a collaboration between Bright White Ltd (York), Forever Holdings (London) and Manchester Metropolitan University. Project partners include Universal Music and The National Portrait Gallery. The project is part of the Audiences of the Future strand of the UK’s industrial strategy and is funded by InnovateUK.

In February this year the team filmed American music legend Nile Rodgers for two days, and the resulting digital film has now been processed to enable an innovative form of voice interaction, ready for early testing.

The proposition is:

“An invitation to a unique digital portrait space for a one-to-one meeting with Nile Rodgers: Nile shares his experiences responding to your own lines of enquiry, to reveal the man behind the legend.”

Nile has sold over half a billion records during a career spanning many decades.

His hit records include:

Le Freak (Chic)

Let’s Dance (David Bowie)

Get Lucky (Daft Punk)

Upside Down (Diana Ross)

We are Family (Sister Sledge)

and many many more.

Nile is Chief Creative Advisor at Abbey Road Studios (London), and works with merging artists regularly.

Maybe you know lots about Nile and if so, great. Maybe you don’t know him at all - don’t worry, this is a great opportunity to discover the amazing story behind one of music’s true heroes.

Session slots available August 2020, invites and choices for dates and times to test the experience will be sent directly following your expression of interest.
