Nico Dey

Born in Paris in 1993 into a Franco-American family, Nicolas grew up immersed in Anglo-Saxon rock culture. At the age of 11, after hearing a cover of Nirvana’s “Polly,” he had a revelation: music was what he wanted to do — and nothing else.

Before devoting himself fully to his own project, he pursued his studies, which led him to New York, where he spent two years and played with La Raza, an Afro-punk band from Brooklyn. He then moved to Buenos Aires, where he wrote his first songs.

Reserved and sensitive, Nicolas says little, but writes a great deal. Gradually, it is through music that he chooses to reveal what he keeps inside.

Influenced by artists such as Neil Young and Leonard Cohen, he eventually returned to Paris and decided to spend many months writing and producing his first EP in French: an intensely personal project, poised between restrained tension, melodic elegance, and emotions in chiaroscuro.
