Nikko.Z was born in 1985 in Greece. From a very young age, he expressed his great love for music. Bands like ‘Pink Floyd’ and ‘The Doors’ were a great influence on him.
The djs 'Hernan Cattaneo', ‘Sasha' and 'John Digweed' were and still are a row model for Nikko and those who influenced him deeply at the age of 14 years. Growing up, he started exploring and listening to electronic music. As the influence on him grew bigger, the purpose was born – make his own tunes. At the early age of 15 he started DJing, which after a while became a real love for electronic music and his big passion. At that time the decision was made - produce his own tracks, to leave his musical mark.
In 2006 he attended SAE International Institute in Athens and graduated successfully from electronic music production. Over the past six years he has created several productions (in his own studio). More than 20 different labels throughout the world have trusted and released his productions. He has also presented his dj sets as a guest at several internet radio stations, such as Proton Radio,Frisky Radio,CrossFm,Golden Wings,Dance Radio and in quite many clubs both in Greece and abroad (Europe,South America & the USA).
His music gets support from artists like Hernan Cattaneo, John Digweed, Paul Oakenfold, Dave Seaman, Nick Warren, Satoshi Tomiie, Marco Carola, Anthony Pappa, Armin Van Buuren, Paul Van Dyk and many more…
Since 2012 he successfully runs the record label Dopamine and the sub label Dopamine White with more of 100 releases of artists from around the world. Among them is also Hernan Cattaneo who produced a remix of Nikko's track Slope. The releases receive great feedback and support from the most renowned artists of the scene.
The last five years he has been sharing his knowledge on music production by delivering courses in music institutes such as the Tsitsanis Museum.
