Grant Nelson (born April 27, 1971, in England) is a DJ, producer and remix artist.

Grant is heralded as the Godfather of UK Garage due to his numerous club hits on his Nice 'n' Ripe record label in the early 90's. It was his sound along with a few others that gave birth to the then known as 'Sunday Scene' which went on to become UKG: UK Garage and Two-step.

He also produced under the name Wishdokta from 1990-1993 when he was making Hardcore / Drum 'n' Bass for the legendary London label Kickin Records.

In 1997 he started using the alter-ego Bump & Flex and began to produce UK 2 Step. He delivered some of the scenes biggest records by far including the incredible "Funk On Ah Roll" by James Brown.

Nelson has always remained a house head since his early Nice 'n' Ripe days and continues to do so to the present with his excellent Swing City Records label that consistently delivers top drawer house music.

Some of the artists Grant has remixed & worked with include ;

Kelis, Jodeci, Mis-Teeq, Aaliyah, The Artful Dodger, Jamiroquai, Lutricia McNeal, Thelma Houston, Another Level, Goldie, Roy Ayers, Guy, Rosie Gaines, Juliet Roberts, Liberty X, Towa Tei, Evelyn 'Champagne' King, Bebel Gilberto, Negrocan, Beverly Knight, The Brand New Heavies, Faithless & Frankie Knuckles.
