The Child is Nick Schinder’s project that has involved many different musicians since its birth in 1999, in Buenos Aires.
By 2000 the end of the year, they got to be one of the 20 finalists of the 1st Ibero-American Contest of Internet Music, organized by Universal. Altogether 2700 musicians participated, from all over Latin America, Spain and U.S.A..
By March, 2001, the group released its first LP, featuring covers and originals
In 2002, The Child lived in Barcelona, Spain, where they usually played at many historical music places in the city.
In 2003 they reached the semi-finals of the Demo Project organized by the International Festival of Benicassim, one of the greatest festivals in pop, electro and indie scene in continental Europe. That same year, The Child produced its second album, Home, which begins to define the sound of the band: an unclassifiable pop, post rock, electro and world music blend, heterodox material and exquisite vocals.
In January 2005 The Child launched its third LP, Format Soul. This became a year of international projection, playing numerous gigs in England (The Marquee Club, The Comedy, Bull & Gate, Hope & Anchor, The Water Rats, Storm, Sound, The Dublin Castle, The Bullet Bar...), France and Germany.
Since March 2007, The Child live in London and have released their fourth studio album, "Think Loud”, which represents a complete twist in the sound of the band: a return to their rock roots, but also, a record that finally registers the energy of their breathtaking live performances.
They are currently touring the UK extensively.

Some reviews about The Child
“you couldn't knock it down even if you had all the Brit-school chart-toppers on your side…brilliant pop-rock…The Child have nailed the pop-rock equation to produce classic tracks. Britpop is back with Argentinean class” (Tasty Fanzine)
“…Pop noire with singer-songwriterly leanings, a fragile voice embellished with ample ambient colour. Very well realized, quite dark and tragi-pop in realization, reminiscent perhaps of Bowie circa Young Americans or the work of Butler and MacAlmont”.(Bugbear)
“First-class pop-rock with a classic feel and some top tunes…a first-class ear for song writing” (Subba-Cultcha)
