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.

Yes Steve...great finally hearing from you. Fantastic you are in great health despite certain rumours that have been put about. I respect your honesty and can see now that you were the true genius of the group. Big up with your bad self.
