Janko Nilović

Janko Nilović (born 20 May 1941) is a Montenegrin pianist, poet, and composer, who has lived in France since 1960.[1]

He has published many works, most of them on library labels not available for sale. His oeuvre stretches from classical, jazz, and funk to pop, psyche, and easy listening.[2]

Nilović creates poetic musical images by bending the edges of styles, cross-pollinating them. He recorded many albums for the Montparnasse 2000 library label which specializes in music for radio and television, musical illustrators, and film music clubs.

The hip-hop producer Dr. Dre sampled much of Nilović's piece "Underground Session" for his track "Loose Cannons" from the album Compton.

JAY Z sampled Nilović's song, In the Space, on D.O.A. (Death Of Auto-Tune) from the album The Blueprint 3; A year prior to this Danny!, who JAY Z would later endorse,[3] sampled "Tapatapa" for "The Groove".
