| Read, listen, or experience any of Nicky Romero’s interviews and you will hear one commonphrase reiterate from the Dutchman’s mouth “Hard Work.” That core belief brought uponNicky’s meteoric rise to international fame in a flourishing, yet oversaturated ElectronicDance Music market. At the age of 6, in the small town of Amerongen, Holland, NickyRomero first discovered his innate talent for music as a drummer, specifically the snare, inhis local marching band. From there, history unfolded in Nicky’s favor as he set himself on acourse not only to fulfill his dreams of musical stardom, but as an all-encompassingDJ/Producer.
To transition from song to song, possibly with some flair and effect is one piece of the puzzle,but at age 23 Nicky has proved himself not only behind the decks, but also in the studio. As amultifaceted musician, Romero’s daring productions have taken him into the studio with thelikes of the worlds most sought after electronic and hip-hop acts like David Guetta, Tiesto,Avicii, Sydney Samson, Kelly Rowland, Eva Simmons, Usher, Madonna, and a mentorshipunder the famed Fedde Le Grand. Additionally, Romero has had his productions released under the industry’s most coveted labels such as Spinnin’, Fly Eye, Toolroom, FlamingoMusical Freedom, and Interscope. However, Romero’s hard work can be traced back to hisfirst releases under the small independent label ‘Once Records’. From there, Romero beganto churn out tracks, each with a unique, enticing, yet innovating sound that captured theworld’s most discerning ears. A sound that breathes progressive, but as of lately adapts amore electro-acidic feel, Romero has proved he is as versatile as any of his counterparts. Hisremix of Green Velvet’s “Flash” seized the CDJs of DJs’ sets on nearly every festival circuit in 2011.
Thus far, 2012 has been a year emblematic of a world’s top-tier DJ. Aside “Wild One Two”,the anthemic collaboration with David Guetta and Sia under the newly established recordlabel Jack Back, Nicky has released countless other dance floor juggernauts such as “Toulouse”, “Generation 303”, and “Camorra”. Unlike like many other producers, each ofRomero’s releases reasserts the claim that he is here to stay. After frequenting the festivalcircuit, such as Ultra in Miami and Energy in the Netherlands, Nicky is set to play atElectronic Zoo in New York, Tomorrowland in Belgium, and will continue his residency at theprestigious Marquee club in Las Vegas. Furthermore, on April 28th Nicky was invited to spinon Pete Tong’s legendary BBC1 for another edition of the Essential Mix, which was met withglobal praise. Looking forward, Romero’s relentlessness in the studio, earning him hiseclectic and distinguishing sound, yields a new accolade few producers establish – a label oftheir own. Protocol, soon to be a major player in the vast EDM market will be under theguidance of Romero. As for future productions, we can look for collaborations with Axwell,NERVO, and Calvin Harris. Since 2009, Nicky has been in the spotlight, but as we enter anew stage of electronic dance music, where only the most versatile survive, we can betRomero will be a respected leader as he takes EDM into its “Golden Age. |
