Born and raised in LA, indie singer/songwriter Nikolai Berk has been surrounded by the arts his entire life. The son of two artist parents, his mother a jewelry maker and his father a fashion designer; the desire to create has been ingrained in his blood. His need to always dive deeper into the heart and mind led him to study Psychology in college. When he finished school he dedicated himself to acting and writing in order to become a better storyteller and to go further into the human experience. He always had a passion for music but never having learned an instrument growing up prevented him from believing it was ever an option. In fact, he never sang in front of anyone until he was 20 years old. It wasn’t until he discovered that his voice was already his greatest asset and that he could adapt his writing for song that he realized he could have a place in music. The most important thing to him is creating something that people can connect and relate to and by doing so feel less alone in the world.
