Hailing from Santa Rosa, Colombia via the Spanish island of Tenerife, DJ/Producer Nico Ramirez is making waves in the UK as one of the most exciting talents on its vibrant Pop / EDM scene. Having developed a passion for music at a very young age, his talent began to surface at the age of 9. In 2011, at aged 12, he played his first DJ set at Tenerife’s [then] premier latin club ‘Las Brujas’. Enamoured by the experience it was here that Nico Ramirez ‘the DJ’ was born. Going on to regularly perform at clubs and festivals to crowds in excess of five thousand party-goers, it was in 2014 (at the age of 15) that Nico relocated to London (UK) to pursue his dream of a career in the global music industry.

Influenced by the Likes of Avicii, David Guetta and Afrojack, Nico quickly made the transition to record production before eventually working with UK RnB artist Jordan Morris (RnB Money / Def Jam) on his 2017 debut single ‘On The Line’. It was around this time that Nico’s rising talent was spotted by major industry players Deon Girdhar (Producer), Chris Williams (Producer) and James Essien (Writer) under whose mentorship Nico continued to develop his unique approach to contemporary music production.

2018 saw Nico contribute to Guru Randhawa’s single ‘Downtown’ together with executive producer Vee. The record achieved international acclaim with over 175 million Youtube streams and a Top 10 Billboard chart position to its credit. In the same year Nico was approached by artist / producer Beduk - widely considered to be one of the greatest minds in Turkish music history - to remix his hit single ‘Gravity’ for the album Flashforward. This achieved a No.1 chart position in Turkey.

2019 has seen Nico Ramirez become the youngest member of UK writing & record production powerhouse ‘Above Music Group (AMG). His ambition and drive coupled with a mature approach to fusing his cultural heritage with the heartbeat of UK popular culture, has led to Nico becoming an essential pillar of the collective’s sound. Specialising in Pop, EDM, Afrobeats, Reggaeton and Tropical House, he is quickly garnering a reputation as a high calibre producer for the streaming generation. His skill set is mature and his catalog is vast. Think ‘fresh’, ‘energetic’ and ‘passionate’ and you’re half way towards understanding why Nico Ramirez continues to rise to prominence, both in the music industry and the mainstream. https://open.spotify.com/artist/0TAAr7l3EmxcEe6RZzUHMx?si=mawP6Q7mRxC-DYCXboFnJg
