Nico Storz aka Nick Napier, is a German songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and former audio engineer.
Originally from the south of Germany, born in 1990, he is based in Berlin.
Nico started his musical journey as the lead singer of a local indie rock band from 2005 to 2011. After leaving his roots and hometown, he took an indefinite hiatus. It was during his travels in New Zealand in 2017 that Nico found inspiration and began to reconnect to his artistic identity, ultimately leading him back to songwriting.
In the beginning of 2022, influenced by the thriving singer-songwriter scene in Berlin, Nico returned to performing his own compositions on open mic stages. This marked his first live performances in a decade as well as his first ever solo performance, and he chose to adopt the pseudonym Nick Napier for this new chapter of his musical career.
Nico Storz’s approach to writing music is centered around artistic freedom and self-expression. He intentionally avoids adhering to conventional rules, expectations, categories, or genres. Instead, he allows his creativity to flow freely, exploring a wide range of musical possibilities. His compositions are not limited to any one instrument; rather, he composes arrangements that cater to multiple instruments in a band setting, showcasing his skills as a multi-instrumentalist.
Nico’s musical style is diverse and cannot be confined to a single box. Some of his songs might lean towards the indie pop genre, while others may find a home in rock, neo soul, modern folk, funk, jazz or even country. This genre-blending approach enables him to create a unique and ever-evolving sound that defies traditional categorization.
Despite his stylistic diversity, there is one consistent element in Nico’s songwriting: writing songs that people will remember. Whether it’s through captivating melodies, relatable lyrics, or infectious hooks, Nick Napier’s compositions are made to leave a lasting impression on listeners.
