David Holmes chats to 6 Music DJ and psychotherapist Nemone

DJ, musician and composer David Holmes shares the pivotal moments that have made him the artist he is today, and the songs that have sound-tracked the ups and downs of his life.

David Holmes shares the pivotal moments that have made him the multi-talented DJ, musician, and composer he is today. Talking to Nemone, who combines her roles of DJ and qualified psychotherapist, David dives deep to share his extraordinary journey, from his childhood in Northern Ireland to tackling his mental health in more recent years.

David began DJing in Belfast at the age of 15 and by the mid-90s was releasing his own mercurial tracks such as 'Rodney Yates', 'My Friend Paul' and '69 Police'. From his 1995 debut album 'This Film's Crap Let's Slash the Seats' onwards, David has created sublime cinematic worlds in the ear of the listener. He is intimately associated with film music, having scored Steven Soderburgh鈥檚 'Out of Sight'. He won an Ivor Novello Award for his score for the film '71' and an IFTA at the Irish Film Awards for his score to Steve McQueen's award-winning film 'Hunger'. David also scored all three series of 'The Fall', starring Gillian Anderson and Jamie Dornan, and won a Bafta with Keefus Green for their work on 成人快手 One's hit drama 'Killing Eve'.

David's 1997 Essential Mix for 成人快手 Radio 1, a mix of northern soul, psychedelic funk and hip hop, is legendary, and his single 'I Heard Wonders' formed the musical backbone to Danny Boyle鈥檚 vision for the London Olympics in 2012. His band output includes The Free Association and most recently The Unloved. He鈥檚 produced Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, is currently working with both Sinead O鈥機onnor and Primal Scream鈥檚 Bobby Gillespie on their solo work, and we will be treated to another David Holmes release before the end of the year.

During this intimate conversation, David shares the songs that have sound-tracked the ups and downs of his life, as well as his ultimate 'Self Care' track.
