A member of the the ‘I Love Life Movement’ (the ‘ill Movement’ for short) indie label, ill Nicky combines his Italian lineage, Boston roots, and Californian vibes into a musical powerhouse.
His style has been described as the intersection of melodic rap, 80’s synth pop, and modern R&B. Singles like ‘California’, ‘Fairfax & Melrose’, and ‘Photograph’ demonstrate his exceptional lyricism, unique style, and mass appeal. That’s why he has amassed over 40 million streams in just three short years as an independent artist.
Ill Nicky’s music can be heard in NBA 2k20, the Matrix Resurrections, and was played regularly throughout the NFL’s Monday Night Football regular season. He’s also been credited with writing music for other artists, most notably Meek Mill’s ‘Classic’.
He’s setting his sights slightly higher for 2023. With partnerships in the Web3 space, Nicky’s NFT was the fastest selling product for Gala Music to date; selling out in just less than 2 minutes. He also dropped an EP ahead of Valentine’s Day – ‘Love You, Love You Not’. All of these while eyeing an international tour.
