The Indie pop artist is creating a body of work that is sure to be a staple on people's playlists, as its inherent feel-good vibes uplift fans and stick with them throughout their day.

Nicky Youre's disarming authenticity and genuine excitement has already connected with fans across the country, catching the attention of Columbia Records where Youre is now signed in partnership with Thirty Knots Records. Garnering over 50 million streams independently and praise from playlisters and publications from the likes of Masked Mortal, Ari Elkins, Early Rising and more, the Southern California native is gearing up to release more songs in 2022, with his latest "Sunroof" already climbing the charts.

His latest single, "Sunroof," solidified itself as one of 2022's songs of the summer by catapulting its way into the Top 10 on Billboard's Hot 100 for 11 consecutive weeks (peaked at #4). With over 650M streams worldwide and an EP of remixes featuring Thomas Rhett, Manuel Turizo, 24kGoldn, and Loud Luxury, the track has spent multiple weeks atop Pop and Hot AC radio formats. Earning Nicky his first nomination at the 2022 MTV VMA's for 'Song of the Summer,' the success of "Sunroof" also saw the star make his television debut with a performance on The TODAY Show.

Born and raised in Aliso Viejo, California, Youre became interested in music through his older brother who played guitar growing up, filling the background of his childhood with Beatles songs and classic rock. In high school, Youre began making music with his friends on Garage band. He adds "It was definitely during the weird stages of everyone's life when we're all trying to figure ourselves out. The songs started off quite terrible but eventually we got really into it and did it for fun almost daily." Youre went on to study at the University of California San Diego to earn a degree in international business though he is now pursuing music full time.

Taking inspiration from Dominic Fike, Jeremy Zucker, Alexander 23, blackbear and more, Youre's tracks start with the most powerful aspect of his music, the undoubtedly catchy melodies. "My best songs come from humming melodies that pop into my head out of the blue, often without a beat. I try to fill the melody with words and visualize the energy or the type of beat that would go well with it. From there I work with a producer to help bring the vision to life and the rest just comes together naturally."

At the end of the day, Nicky hopes his music can be an escape for his fans. He adds "I hope when people listen to my tunes they feel good. I want them to forget about any issues that they have, even just for a couple minutes, and relax." A melody that started in Nicky Youre's head is sure to be stuck in yours sometime soon, and he apologizes ahead of time.
