About

Nico Rodas isn't just making music; he's crafting sonic landscapes where the raw energy of lo-fi hip-hop collides with the introspective depths of R&B. Hailing from Madrid, this burgeoning producer and vocalist has carved a niche for himself by blending ethereal soundscapes with grounded, often melancholic, lyrics. Rodas’ sound is characterized by layered vocal harmonies, subtle yet driving beats, and a keen ear for texture, drawing influence from artists like James Blake and Frank Ocean, but with a distinctly Iberian sensibility. His early tracks quickly garnered attention on SoundCloud and Spotify, leading to collaborations with fellow Spanish indie artists and a growing international fanbase. A pivotal moment came with the release of "Invierno en Madrid," a track that perfectly encapsulated his signature blend of vulnerability and sonic sophistication. The song became a sleeper hit, propelling him onto curated playlists and solidifying his position as a rising force in the chillwave scene. Beyond the music, Rodas embodies a DIY ethic, often producing, mixing, and mastering his own tracks, adding an intimate and authentic layer to his artistry. With his most recent EP, "Reflejos," Nico Rodas continues to push boundaries, exploring themes of identity, isolation, and the search for connection in a digital age. He’s not just an artist to watch; he's shaping the sound of tomorrow, one meticulously crafted beat at a time.
