From bedroom experimenter to globally recognized DJ, producer, and label owner, Nicky Romero has become a defining voice in electronic music. Breaking through with Toulouse and I Could Be the One (with Avicii), he built his reputation on originality, adaptability, and deep production chops. He has collaborated with Afrojack, Armin van Buuren, David Guetta, Kygo, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, and Steve Aoki, evolving while preserving a signature, festival-ready sound. Beyond the stage, his Kickstart plugin simplified sidechain compression and became a studio staple across EDM. In 2012, Romero launched Protocol Recordings to champion fresh talent and push the genre's boundaries. The label consistently delivers quality releases, serving as a springboard for newcomers and a home for established artists, keeping fans engaged through innovative projects even in challenging times. A proven live force, Romero plays Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival, EDC, and Creamfields, and holds a residency at Zouk Las Vegas. In 2020 he unveiled Monocule, exploring darker, more underground textures; its momentum peaked with a standout AMF performance during ADE 2024. Looking to 2025, expect more new music and collaborations, including tracks with Gabry Ponte and Sam Feldt, as Romero continues shaping the genre's future, for audiences around the world.
