A producer and DJ rooted in the city of San Diego, CA, Nikia embarked on his musical journey at the age of 17.

Experimenting with blending trance melodies into his hip hop productions, Nikia's sound underwent a transformative shift, leading him to explore the world of DJing. With the help of a high school friend and collaborator, he gradually expanding his repertoire and began spinning at local raves under the rave duo 'beatzandbass' and eventually found a home in the Afro-Latin house music scene, notably at events like TOOMBAO and CHOCOLATE. Today, Nikia's musical style reflects a unique fusion of his trance roots with house and techno influences.
