Artist • Multi-Instrumentalist • Songwriter • Producer
A multi-instrumentalist, performer, songwriter and producer available for select performances, recording projects and collaborations. Founder of Pretend Industries.
From headlining world class venues to beach bars, listening rooms, private events, and late-night corners of the map, Nico Cellz approaches live music as an evolving catalog rather than a fixed repertoire.
Solo performances pull from decades of writing, recording, touring, and gigging — stripped-down originals, favorites, reinterpretations, and songs that probably should not work acoustically but somehow do.
