Nick Rotteveel, professionally known as Nicky Romero, was born on January 6, 1989, in Amerongen, Utrecht Province, Netherlands. He spent a year in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, before returning to the Netherlands and completing his education with semesters in France. His career in music commenced in 2007 with releases like “Privilege” and “Qwerty” on Once Records, followed by tracks such as “Funktion One.” His early work included remixes for Tony Cha Cha’s “Get on the Floor” and a bootleg for David Guetta’s “When Love Takes Over,” which helped raise his profile and led to remixing opportunities with Ministry of Sound.

Romero achieved mainstream success in 2012 with “Toulouse,” a recording that consistently appeared on the Beatport Top Ten.

In October 2012, he received the ‘Highest New Entry’ award on DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs poll, placing at number 17.

Building on this success, Romero released “Symphonica” in 2013, which also reached No. 1 on the Beatport Top 100 chart, and his collaboration “Legacy” with Krewella achieved similar success.
