Mark Manchester and Nikolaus Becker seem like normal guys, aside from their nonchalant rock star flair. Both young men are 22, residing from Newport Beach, an hour south of Los Angeles. Both are studying business, set to graduate this May, and both are a part of Niiko X Swae, a budding DJ-ing group climbing their way to the top, literally. In a matter of 18 months, they have already crossed off many milestones that most artists take years to achieve. Mark goes by SWAE and Nikolaus goes by Niiko- together, along with Mark’s twin and their manager, Kevin, they have created a unique brand with their music. From playing beats for friends in their SMU dorm room to playing for 5,000 people in Monterrey, Mexico, Niiko x SWAE isn’t slowing down anytime soon. I got the chance to sit down with the DJ-ing group and their manager, Kevin Manchester, to ask them all about their cool lives as DJ’s and SMU students.
