Nico's shows are renowned for the energy that emanates from them and the contagious joy that spreads there. Trained at the school of American blues clubs that he has been attending since the age of 19, he has developed a unique approach to the stage where energy, charisma, harmonica and feeling are carried by a close-knit and efficient band.
A professional since 1998, he has recorded 14 albums under his own name, 12 of which were released on the Dixiefrog label. His tours have led him to rally new fans in France as well as in Belgium, Holland, the United States, Canada, Spain, Italy, Germany, Macedonia, Ecuador, Nigeria, Syria, Tunisia and Morocco.
Nico is concerned about bringing his blues wherever he is asked. He is therefore as capable of performing as a duo for an intimate concert, as of electrifying his music in quartet or quintet in the spirit of the Chicago Blues of the great masters of the genre. He also knows how to offer a Big Band version of his music, where the repertoire defended is that of the blues tinged with funk and soul of James Cotton, to whom he paid tribute in an album released on Dixiefrog in 2017.
Lately, Nico has also been performing solo guitar-harmonica-vocals and bringing to the stage a repertoire of street music, based on his original songs influenced by the blues and gospel of his roots.
Working with American musicians has long been a blues school for Nico and his band. They have welcomed guests such as Cash McCall, David Maxwell, Monster Mike Welch, and Killer Ray Allison on tours. Nico has recorded or worked with Rod Piazza, Guy Davis and Andrew Strong.
During his American stays, he shared the stage with James Cotton, Billy Branch, RJ Mischo, Luther Allison, Eddie C. Campbell, Vance Kelly, Jimmy Burns, Jimmy Johnson and many other names of the Chicago scene.
