Niko Noir’s journey as an artist, performer, songwriter, vocal producer, and producer is a testament to courage and determination. Her classic R&B compositions, rich with poetic introspection and relentless dedication, have captivated audiences and redefined the genre. Her latest single, ‘Personal,’ is out now, and she is working on new music to be released soon, called ‘Who Can Blame Niko.’
“This upcoming project is more of a storyline about not being ashamed of my decisions; it’s a sequel to the previous album, ‘Blame it on Niko.’ This one is more free and hits on my adult decisions and embracing who I am,” Niko said.
In 2021, she made her debut with the release of her first EP, “Blame Niko.” This EP consists of five tracks that exemplify her poise and professionalism as an artist. Through captivating songs such as “Needed You” and “Jefferson Ave,” she delves into themes revolving around relationships, love, and self-discovery, recurring motifs in all her musical works.

“I want listeners of my new music to be okay with the decisions they make and where they are at this point in time, outside of the deeper aspect for the average listener.”
“I also want people to hear what I bring as an artist to the industry, not only a singer but as a musician,” Niko said.
Taking inspiration from her father’s musical legacy, Niko creates music that is a one-of-a-kind combination of melodic, poetic, and authentic sounds reminiscent of the soulful vibes of 2000s R&B. This unique blend is enriched with elements of soul and jazz, resulting in a captivating and rich listening experience that is bound to captivate and intrigue listeners.
“I look forward to performing more, creating more visuals, and stepping into my artistry more. I also look forward to more collaborations and working with other artists,” Niko said.
She also draws inspiration from artists such as Victoia Monet, Brandy, Jazmine Sullivan, and James Fauntleroy, which is evident in the depth and soulfulness of her own music.
“One of my dream collaborations is with James Fauntleroy. I think he’s phenomenal all around. He’s also one of those artists who is very well-rounded. So, I would love to collaborate with him.” He’s just a great writer and producer. He has a phenomenal ear,” Niko said.
Niko is no stranger to headlining and has an impressive track record of performances in Detroit. She has opened for the Grammy-nominated R&B artist Kenyon Dixon at El Club, appearing on Live in the D and a recent show at The Photo House. Fans can now mark their calendars for August 16, as Niko is scheduled to take the stage as the headline act at the Zo Fine Music & Mental Health Festival. She will also perform at Arts Beats and Eats on August 30 in Royal Oak.
