Niko is quite a multi-dimensional artist. His sound ranges from organic to produced, poetic to instrumental, ethereal to edgy. His songs and lyrics are relevent, melodic, and inner-taining. His style centers around pop but extends to alternative, new age, and world - with a unique voice to thread it all together into one beautiful tapestry. What sets Niko apart? His unbridled passion, his tremendous vocal range and dynamics, his compelling mixture of mystic and danger in one moment with humility and fragility in the next. An attractive glow, gentle transparent eyes, heartfelt meaningful songs, Niko is a pioneer of a new breed of emerging artists and musicians in the world ushering in a new sound of unforced harmonization which cannot be logically analyzed or contained in a box. He doesn’t fit into the industry mold yet undeniably has global appeal. His debut release, Love (a cd/dvd set), is a timeless multimedia diary of music, videos, writings, and photography. It is filled with a purity that pierces the heart and soul and takes you on an amazing journey filled with light and darkness, hope and despair, and all of the emotions you can imagine from the life of someone who truly believes in love with all of his blood.
