Nicco

Nicco is the stage name of Nick Constantine Maniatty (born August 7, 1977 in Greenfield, United States). A producer, DJ and singer-songwriter, he is the lead voice of the duo Darius and Finlay and works at the intersection of electronic music and reggae/dancehall influences.

Discovered on Myspace in 2005, Nicco rose to prominence from 2007 and has worked with labels such as Sony, TrackMusic and Ice Face Music. His career blends duo collaborations and solo releases alongside European live performances.

His contributions include Rock To The Beat and Do It All Night featuring Darius & Finlay, as well as Dance-Hall Track with Robert M; the latter partnership earned a Gold Record in Poland in 2010. Together with Darius & Finlay, he received a FaMa Award in 2010 for the hit Destination, the most played song of 2009.

In early 2010 he released Hold On with Darius & Finlay, and Till Morning was announced for February 2011. In 2011 he issued his first solo single Downpour, accompanied by a video.

In 2012 meetings with producers Manuel Reuter and Yann Peifer (associated with R.I.O. and Cascada) led to Party Shaker, which performed well in Europe, notably in France, Switzerland and Germany. For summer 2013 he released two singles: Tonight (with Manian) and his second solo single Into The Light.

Nicco continues to develop his solo career while maintaining a strong role as vocalist, producer and DJ across European and American scenes.
