A French native who grew up in Saint Barths, Nico was educated in the US, where he turned on his first four-track recorder at the age of 16. In 1997, Nico bought an old guitar, a Moog keyboard, and decided to start a band.
Since then, his compositions have been played in a variety of venues, from night clubs in the east coast and Saint Barths to Lincoln Center in New York CIty. His music frequently appears in Red vs Blue, and was included in the Limited Collector's Edition of Halo 2, and the Legendary edition of Halo 3. In 2007, three of his compositions were selected to be included in the laptop.org project.
