Nico

Nico is a 15‑year‑old hip‑hop artist from Bloomington‑Normal, IL, using music to make sense of everything he’s been through. He taught himself piano at home and is now learning more instruments, building a sound that keeps growing with him. His first album, Aftershocks, tells the story of his first real heartbreak. It’s a young artist trying to understand pain and change while it’s happening. The deluxe version, Aftershocks: Recast looks back at that same story with more clarity, showing how healing can change the way you remember the moments that hurt you. With FADED HEART, Nico started speaking on the real issues people face every day, mental health struggles, pressure, loneliness, and trying to stay strong when life gets heavy. It’s one of his most honest projects. His EP heavy came from a time when everything felt too overwhelming to hold in. The songs capture that weight and the need to let those feelings out instead of keeping them inside. It’s short, direct, and full of emotion. His newest album, PERFECT FOR MY LIFE, marks a turning point. It’s the first time Nico felt confident, happy, and proud of himself. The album celebrates that feeling, even when heartbreak returns and forces him to heal again. It’s about growing, rebuilding, and learning to choose yourself. At just 15, Nico’s music already carries real experience and real emotion. From Blono to wherever his story goes next, he’s creating a world listeners can feel and connect with.
