After experimenting with various genres of music, Nika Timos found that pop resonated with her more than any other. Russian born but now UK based, the singer-songwriter brings about an eclectic mix of catchy tunes and the inevitable ear worms that just won’t leave your head. Turning these tunes into songs, saturated with live instruments and electronic sounds. Her motto “combine the incongruous, try new, experiment, but always making the essence clear and understandable for others”. This is what influences Nika to draw on a specific life theme in each of her songs, whether it’s the black and white clarity or hitting the grey area between. Looking at it from any angle soberly she reveals in all her songs that you can boil it down to its very core, simple and understandable. 

After releasing her first single Freedom in 2019, in which she sang of the pains of domestic violence and toxic relationships, she has continued to create music at an increasing rate.
       In 2020 Nika has used perhaps the only positive of Covid, to focus on her songwriting and honing her skills in mixing and bringing her songs to life. Her songs were played all over the UK on BBC Introducing and local radio stations and beyond. Inspired by the work of great musicians such as One Republic, Tove Lo, Timbaland and with just one DAW, Nika brings together an entire orchestra in her house. 

       After the successful release of the track Family, Nika felt quite comfortable in this dark, mystical zone filled with chaos and murky topics. She treats music as therapeutic, finding emotional redemption in it. The new track Dust is not an exception. Despite the fact that it's a dance song, let's not deceive ourselves, this track is far from carefree themes. Inspired by Eminem's fifth studio album cover Incore Nika simply reminds you that this world is full of crazy people, and a girl from the neighbourhood that you see playing her ukulele can be one of them.
