Nico & Vinz

Nico & Vinz are an international music sensation who have already set the European entertainment scene on fire. Hailing from Oslo, Norway, the singing/songwriting duo, made up of Nico Sereba and Vincent Dery, has tapped into the heart of global culture by writing and performing songs that joyfully speak of life, love and identity. Though it’s hard to name their sound, consider it reminiscent of The Police and Paul Simon’s Graceland.

The “Am I Wrong” music video, directed by Kavar Singh, already has over 45 million views on YouTube, and almost 15 million for its lyric video.  That’s no surprise given the riveting images and settings captured in this eye-catching “short film.” Vinz explains that it was shot in Botswana. “We said let’s go there and make a video that really projects the positivity and joy and good energy that’s in Africa, not always the negative stuff.” Their vision is paying off. The single has won an NRJ Award for “Song of the Year,” and a Spelleman Award nomination for “Hit of the Year.” To date, “Am I Wrong” has a 20x Platinum combined certification in Scandanavia, and almost Double Platinum in the US!

In early 2014, Nico & Vinz received the European Boarder Breakers Award (EBBA) at Eurosonic Festival, performed at the Spellemann Awards, completed a Scandanavian tour, and launched “Am I Wrong” worldwide. When “Am I Wrong” made its American radio debut in April of 2014, it was the #1 most added record at the Top 40/mainstream format with 90 adds, a rarity in first-week airplay for a new artist. It has already made it to #1 Top 40 and Hot Ac airplay charts. And, as THE most Shazamed song worldwide, “Am I Wrong” sits at #1 on Shazam’s Top 100 Worldwide and #2 North American charts. “Am I Wrong” continues to skyrocket up both streaming and download charts -- Top 5 iTunes Singles Charts (#2 peak on iTunes Pop), Top 5 on Billboard Hot 100, and Top 5 on Spotify US (Top 10 Worldwide) with 115 million global streams to-date.
