Haitian-American artist Niko first appeared on the music scene in 2012. Although she studied acting and musical theater growing up, singing and writing music was always a passion. She was brought on as a songwriting intern for indie label Titanium Music Group under Damon Eden (BadBoy/Capital). Soon after she began to take writing for herself more seriously and used the connections she made from the label to start her own project. Influenced by the likes of ABBA, Cher, Janet, Beyonce, Dawn Richard, and Bloc Party just to name a few; she set out to make music that was both honest to her identity as a self-proclaimed "Unikorn" as well as, in her words just plain "dope music".
