Nicholas "Nico" Stinson was born in Berkeley, CA on March 29th, 1995. Since birth he has grown up with various types of music, along with having parents that could play piano, drums, and sing.

Throughout his childhood he has touched on piano and guitar until he found his love for percussion in middle school. From 6th grade to his first year of college, he participated in marching band and his actual first days of compositions were drum cadences for his high school. Along with band, which gave him the knowledge and technicality to produce, he discovered the art and emotion of dance. Dance was the other half that would completely convince him into pursuing a career in DJ-ing and Music production. Many of his friends who dance have really inspired him to keep producing more and more from the many styles he has seen. In the winter of 2011, Nico began creating tracks on Garageband and has continued to produced then on Ableton.
