█ Swedish artist NAD SYLVAN was born in the US in █
█ 1959, originally named Hugh Erik Stewart, which █
█ was later altered to Christopher Stewart. Nad █
█ Sylvan has been his artist moniker since 1997. █
█ Sylvan was initially a part of a succession of █
█ bands from the late 1970's and onward, and was █
█ close to achieving real mainstream success with █
█ the band One By One in the second half of the █
█ 1980's. Following this involvement he abandoned █
█ his band activities for many years, but resurfaced █
█ with the project Unifaun in 2008, and then went on █
█ to accidentally form The Agents of Mercy with The █
█ Flower Kings main man Roine Stolt shortly after. █
█ From 2012 he has also worked with Steve Hackett █
█ and his Genesis Revisited projects. █
█ As a solo artist, Nad Sylvan's first production █
█ was initially released in 1995, then called The █
█ Home Recordings and released under the name Chris █
█ Stewart. In 1997 he recorded the concept album The █
█ Life of a Housewife, which was eventually released █
█ through the then popular website mp3.com in 1999, █
█ alongside a renamed version of his 1995 solo debut █
█ now renamed to Blue Waters and issued as a Nad █
█ Sylvan album. His next album Sylvanite took the █
█ same path, initially recorded in 2001 and then █
█ released through mp3.com in 2003. █
█ With the rise in stature and popularity Nad Sylvan █
█ saw in the following years, his fourth and so far █
█ most recent solo album is a quite different █
█ affair. This album, Courting the Widow was █
█ released by prestigious progressive rock label █
█ Inside Out in 2015, and features contributions █
█ from a contemporary hall of fame of musicians from █
█ the world of progressive rock. █
