The figure of Jose Luis Nieto as composer has not been as visible in musical circles as his career as pianist. Nevertheless, in parallel, his compositions are being debuted regularly, mostly in the Russian Federation and, gradually, his creative production as composer is reaching considerable recognition.
Between 1999 – 2005, Nieto was the student of Alexei Nikolaev during a specialization in Composition at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow.
