NICO DEY

Nico Dey — born in 1993 in Paris to a Franco-American family — grew up immersed in Anglo-Saxon rock culture. At 11, hearing a guitarist cover Nirvana's Polly sparked a revelation: music would be his path, no alternative. Before committing fully, he studied and spent two years in New York, playing with Brooklyn afro-punk band La Raza. He then moved to Buenos Aires, where he wrote his first songs. Today, Nico Dey moves at the crossroads of several worlds: rock energy, pop clarity, and the demanding craft of French chanson, in both lyrics and melodies. His music navigates between raw reality and poetic flights, where guitars meet contemporary sounds without ever losing emotional sincerity. Inspired by Neil Young and Leonard Cohen, he returned to Paris and met producer Bernard Saint Paul (Veronique Sanson, Alain Chamfort, Julien Clerc). Together, they shaped a debut EP in French: intimate, finely melodic, and layered with quiet tension. His writing captures feelings, fragilities, impulses, and those everyday moments we overlook until a song reveals their depth.
