Nigel Ipinson-Fleming


nigel-card

My name is Nigel Ipinson-Fleming, and I would like to thank you for visiting The Garage Gospel website.

I developed Garage Gospel to create great music but more importantly to encourage you to embrace change and pursue excellence within a supportive environment.

During my career, I have been blessed to write, produce and perform for some of the world’s best and most diverse artists.

As I have evolved as a person and a musician, I have come to cherish the benefits of passing on the information, thoughts and experiences that have motivated me to push myself to the limit, and hopefully introducing you to the Garage Gospel network will do the same for you.
