Musical Journey: Early Beginnings
Nikolaus’s aunt & uncle
Nikolaus was born in Austria and began his musical journey at the age of five, starting with violin lessons and giving his first wedding performance at just seven years old at his uncle’s wedding.
Raised in a musical family where all four siblings are playing an instrument, they were giving concerts at family gatherings and celebrations form a very young age.
Music followed Nikolaus at school as well; during high school recess and field-trips, his friends would request songs for him to play and he would take part in multiple competitions throughout Austria, Russia and Germany.
From 2008 to 2012 he played as the first violinist in the Youth Symphony Orchestra of Vienna.
Education & Professional Experience
Nikolaus continued his education at the prestigious University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna (MDW), specializing in
Mixing
Mastering
Recording Engineering
He later pursued a Music Production Degree at the Los Angeles College of Music, where he further refined his expertise in the heart of the music industry.

Current Work & Youtube
In Vienna, Nikolaus has a recording and mixing studio where he spends time creating music, arranging melodies and working on studio productions.
He is regularly collaborating with world-class musicians including Emmanuel Tjeknavorian and Dominik Wagner and upcoming indie artists like ARAI and Jonathan Henrich.
With a long experience as a sound technician he works with renowned concert halls like Musikverein and the Viennese Konzerthaus.
His love for traveling and learning new skills, led him to create the Youtube Channel NIKOLAUS where he found a way to combine producing music and documenting exciting new locations, all the while learning the art of video-making and a good work-life-hobby balance.
What came out of this venture that he didn’t expect was thousands of people loving the renditions of his pop-song covers, and having hundreds of comments like:
”I wish I could have this at my wedding”
or
“This is such a beautiful cover, I want it for my wedding!”
This is where the idea of making tailor-made wedding songs that could be used for the couples’s wedding videos, ceremony, and important moments of their wedding day, came to life.
Now, Nikolaus is working with couples preparing for their wedding day, providing them with an unforgettable experience through his custom-made soundtracks.
Each wedding song is individually produced, enhancing the couple’s celebration and creating lasting memories.
His vision is to enrich the wedding music experience, making sure it reflects the unique love story of each couple. Every couple deserves a personalized soundtrack that resonates with their journey and emotions.
