Aliases: Naico, Evangelos, Quencher.
After being raised with the vibes from the 80's, Neil Diamond songs and Greek music, Nicolas had already goten the basics of real music.
The 90's had a big influence on Nicolas, since songs with more synthersized sounds and with computer programmed beats were played on the radio.
Nicolas began listening to techno and rave at first, then evolving into hardtrance.
However, it was classics such as Robert Miles - Children, Darude - Sandstorm, ATB - 9PM and Antiloop - Believe, which got him into the more commercial path and later on into Trance.
One day, one of his friends borrowed a DJ Mixer from his uncle and they started mixing immediately!
That was the start of his DJ career, starting with small school parties and now playing at smaller local clubs.
It wasn't until the year of 2006, when a friend of his showed him Armin van Buuren's - Armin Only live performance, that the Real Trance got established into his life.
Nicolas had also begun to feel the urge of producing his own music, that's when he found out about Reason and started working!
This later evolved into using Ableton Live after trying it out for a while!
Nicolas got signed with his more balearic project called 'Evangelos' on DJ Shah's label 'Magic Island Records', which is is a sublabel to Armada, after sending out his first demo EVER!
Nicolas is now following his fathers footsteps and continuing that path with producing, since his father was a DJ at several clubs in Athens during the 80's.
We'll be both hearing and seeing alot from Naico from now on!
