Niko grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area in a town called San Jose, California. He attended Valley Christian High School graduating in the class of 2013. Niko returned to Hawai’i in 2020, where six generations of his family originated (first in Kaua’i, then to O’ahu). His interests include sports, the outdoors, and of course, music! He grew up playing violin and guitar and always loved to make music for the Lord.

Niko was raised in a household with two Jesus-loving parents who encouraged him and his two sisters from an early age to live for the Lord. Niko’s life verse is Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
