In 1980, Nichol co-founded Loose Ends with Carl McIntosh and Jane Eugene. The group rose to prominence in the 1980s with hits such as “Hangin’ on a String (Contemplating)”, which became the first song by a British R&B band to top the Billboard R&B chart in the US in 1985. Other notable tracks include “Magic Touch”, “Stay a Little While, Child” (later covered by Mariah Carey), and “Slow Down.” Nichol was instrumental in the group's sound, serving as a keyboardist, trumpeter, and producer.


After leaving Loose Ends in the late 1980s, in an acrimonious split, Nichol continued working in the music industry as a producer, songwriter, and session musician.


Today, Steve Nichol remains active, releasing an EP of new tracks, and as a teacher in school, shares insights into the industry.
