Nathan Ganyu Haines

Born January 18, 1972 in Auckland, New Zealand to a well-known jazz family (his father is [a=Kevin Haines] and his brother is [a=Joel Haines]), he gathered quite a reputation in his late teens and early twenties, playing with Jazz Committee and [a=Freebass (8)], before forming his own band, who eventually became known as [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Enforcers%2C+The+%282%29]The Enforcers[/url].

Signing to [l=Huh Records], his début solo album, Shift Left, is the biggest selling NZ recorded jazz album of all time and was released globally on [l=Verve Records].

In 1995 Haines went to NYC and then to London, where he worked as a live musician and session player. He also began DJing. He recorded Drum'n'Bass for [l=Metalheadz] before signing to [l=Chillifunk Records] where he made two albums with [a=Phil Asher] before returning to NZ in the early 2000s.

He continues to record and perform extensively in NZ, Asia and Europe.
