Quist started playing the guitar at age 6 – moving to London in his teens to study at the UK version of Musicians Institute (G.I.T), where he was awarded the title “Outstanding Guitarist of the Year” - after which he landed a scholarship to study at the world-renowned Royal Academy of Music. At the Academy, Quist studied under John Ashton Thomas (X-men, Ice Age, Kung Fu Panda, Night at the Museum), amongst others. Having his recording debut for Sony Music Denmark whilst still a student, Quist has since had more than 40 of his tracks synced and featured on TV, radio, films and computer games. He keeps a steady output of new music, with increasing emphasis on his love of music for moving pictures. With his current role as lead guitarist for UK rock legend Bryan Ferry, over 21 million views on his own youtube channel QuistJam, as well as regular features in Guitar Techniques Magazine and two international (guitar) book releases behind him, Quist is already well-known in the guitar world…. But let’s be clear – Quist is on a mission to reach far beyond the world of guitarists with his music! He remains an active session guitarist, having appeared across the world at major festivals like Coachella and Glastonbury, venues like Royal Albert Hall and Abbey Road, on TV shows like Jools Holland, BBC Breakfast and Le Grand Journal (in France) - working for labels like BMG, Decca, Polydor, Warner, Sony, Mercury, Universal, Ninja Tunes and Brownswood. In 2016, Quist will be releasing his first instrumental album Trigger, which features contributions from many of the top musicians he’s worked with over the past few years – including Guy Pratt (Pink Floyd, Michael Jackson), Dave De Rose (Mark Ronson), Cherisse Osei (Mika, Paloma Faith) and Magnus Fiennes (Shakira).
