Biography:
Nik Kershaw (born Nicholas David Kershaw, 1 March 1958, in Bristol) is an English singer-songwriter.

He appeared at Live Aid in 1985, and has penned a number of hits for other artists, including a UK number one single in 1991 for Chesney Hawkes, "The One and Only".
Kershaw played guitar and sang in a number of underground bands from about 1976 before deciding on a career as a songwriter.
