Nico started his professional career in 2020 with his first professional solo recording debut with the single “Lost in Time.” Nico performed at his first international festival (Empire Music Festival), where only the biggest DJs played, after releasing music for two years. Following the concert, many new fans and followers began listening to Nico's music, and in just one year, he had around 800,000 streams on Spotify alone.
