Он родился в небольшой деревушке близ Копенгагена в 1946 году. В джаз он пришел в 60-е годы, еще совсем мальчишкой работая с приезжими (гавным образом американскими) звездами в копенгагенском клубе "Jazzhouse Montmartre". В 17 лет он с большой неохотой отклонил предложение Каунта Бейзи, звавшего его в свой оркестр, однако работал с множеством малых составов. За почти сорок лет его карьеры в его послужном списке - работа с такими мастерами, как Декстер Гордон, Кенни Дрю, Бен Уэбстер, Сонни Роллинз, Билл Эванс, и, разумеется, канадский пианист Оскар Питерсон, с которым Педерсен работал с 1971 года (с 1973 - как постоянный член его трио) по 1986-й год и затем - во второй половине 90-х годов (они сотрудничают и в настоящее время). С 1975 года он выпускает и альбомы под собственным именем. Постоянно сотрудничал с Датским радио. Хотя он работал с гигантами традиционного джаза и в их ансамблях звучал (и звучит) как филигранный традиционалист с совершенным звуком именно традиционного контрабаса (он записал с различными музыкантами почти 200 альбомов!), в сольном творчестве Нильс-Хеннинг не лишен тяги к эксперименту. На почти двух десятках своих сольных работ он много и успешно разрабатывал различные "нордические" (то есть скандинавские) фольклорные мотивы, а также идеи слияния джаза и академической классики. Так, среди его альбомов есть записи джазовых обработок Белы Бартока и Иоганна Себастьяна Баха.
