Niko,originally from Greece, was lead singer for the Jaguars. The band played most major clubs in Athens and gave several concerts.

Niko's first CD - "Mission Dark", chronicles the dilemma of modern man in today's internet society with too many choices... This entire CD, music-composition-production-lyrics was done by Niko (CDBaby.com).

Niko's 2nd CD, just like the first, does not fit any traditional mold. It combines the talents of great musicians, such as Paul Warren - lead guitar player with Rod Stuart and Eros Ramazzotti, Bob Birch current bass player with Elton John and drummer Jimmy Hunter formerly with Ray Manzarek, the Village People, etc. This CD is about "LA Town Colors" and is out in mid June. LA Town Colors reflects the versatality of the cultures in southern California and reflects on the LA/Hollywood glamour.

Bio

Niko was born and raised in Athens, Greece.

Niko's first solo performance was during school graduation at the age of 12. As a teenager, Niko played quitar and was lead singer in a band called "The Makers". The Makers played in local theaters and clubs in Athens, Greece.

Post "Makers", Niko was lead singer for "The Jaguars", a top rock band in Greece. The band did covers for the Stones, Hendrix, etc. and appeared in numerous top clubs in Athens, including "On the Rocks", "Delta", etc., and had several outdoors concerts. The Jaguars also appeared on national Greek television and movies.

Niko moved to the US (Virginia - New Jersey) for college but his true passion remained music. Niko's music reflects on life experiences and is assembled in his "Book of My Life".

For a couple of decades Niko dreamed of somehow publishing and/or performing his music but it wasn't until after he moved to Los Angeles in 2001 that all this work started to appear, initially in "Mission Dark" and currently in "LA Town Colors". Each project took six months of studio time, and there is more where this came from...

While producing music, Niko continues to head a medical research group in LA specializing in genetic and other disorders. He is the author of over 150 scientific publications on several diseases and therapies in various medical journals.
