May 16, 2022
Harnessing the infectious energy of sticky melodies and relatable lyrics, 22-year-old Nicky Youre is putting smiles on fans' faces one song at a time. The Indie pop, southern California native, is creating a body of work that is sure to be a staple on people’s playlists, as its inherent feel-good vibes uplift fans and stick with them throughout their day.
Taking inspiration from Dominic Fike, Tai Verdes, Jeremy Zucker, Alexander 23, blackbear and more, Youre’s tracks start with the most powerful aspect of his music, the undoubtedly catchy melodies. "My best songs come from humming melodies that pop into my head out of the blue, often without a beat. I try to fill the melody with words and visualize the energy or the type of beat that would go well with it. From there, I work with a producer to help bring the vision to life and the rest just comes together naturally."
Outside of music, Nicky is a "self-diagnosed mama’s boy" who loves playing golf and exploring new cities. Additionally, Youre played water polo for 12 years and enjoys going for a swim or workout whenever he gets the chance.
Nicky Youre’s disarming authenticity and genuine excitement has already connected with fans across the country. His latest single, "Sunroof," has solidified itself as a contender for 2022’s Song of the Summer by catapulting its way to the top 10 used songs on TikTok with over 4.2 million videos made to the sound.
The track’s success has translated to other platforms as well: “Sunroof” is in the Top 200 on both US + Global Shazam and Top 200 on the Spotify charts in multiple territories including US, Global, Australia, Canada, Philippines, etc. The song is also featured on various Spotify playlists such as Mood Booster, Good Vibes, Pop Rising, Viral Hits, and Summer Party, and has accumulated over 200k single sales in the U.S. alone since its release. Now signed to Columbia Records, the young up-and-coming star has made quite a splash and is looking to leave his mark as he gears up to release more songs in 2022. (Photo credit: Austin Cieszko)
