Biog­ra­phy From His Face­book Site:

Nils Frahm, born in 1982, had an early intro­duc­tion to music. Dur­ing his child­hood he was taught to play piano by Nahum Brod­ski — a stu­dent of the last scholar of Tschaikowski. It was through this that Nils began to immerse him­self in the styles of the clas­si­cal pianists before him as well as con­tem­po­rary com­posers. Today Nils Frahm works as an accom­plished com­poser and pro­ducer in Berlin. In 2008 he founded Dur­ton Stu­dio, where he has worked with Deaf Cen­ter from Nor­way, L.A. com­poser Dustin O’ Hal­lo­ran and Portland’s Peter Brod­er­ick amongst other fel­low musicians.
