Nikki Nack

tUnE-yArDs

A high-velocity collision of 808 drum machines, Haitian-inspired polyrhythms, and acrobatic vocal loops. Equal parts protest rally and neon-lit playground.

Find on Amazon

It's like a high-stakes playground game played with 808s and a choir of geniuses.

A high-energy, defiant celebration that finds joy in rhythmic chaos and vocal experimentation.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the hand-claps and playground-skipping rhythm of Water Fountain that feels like a chaotic jump-rope game
the sudden shift into a smooth R&B-inflected groove on Wait for a Minute that highlights a rare moment of vocal restraint
the massive choral explosion of Roomful of Teeth on Find a New Way that sets a high-stakes sonic bar
