nigel the earth breather is an up-and-coming Genius Artist. After a refresh deleting all of his previous projects, he released his first project, 1-800-CALLMEBACK in May 2021 and the black sheep/odd one out in July of the same year. While doing so, he hosted two Genius Users projects, Level Up and its sequel.

After two mixtapes (and an unsuccessful EP), Nigel finally released his debut album broken-hearted roses in November 2021. While not being as successful as some of his other projects, it is his favorite project to date. A few weeks after the album, …on my mind was released as his third mixtape a month after.
