We had the good fortune of connecting with Niko Noir and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Niko, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
The most important factor behind my success is my community. Having a support system that consists of people that I know and love really provides encouragement to just keep going.
As well as the power of networking horizontally instead of vertically. When we step outside of the box that we’ve created and put ourselves in, it really provides a sense of exploration. The world is so big and it doesn’t just stop in our hometown.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’m most proud of my ability to be diligent with myself. You really are your own biggest critic. It’s so easy to be hard on yourself but once you’ve learned to give yourself grace, that’s what utilizes your true strength. The journey is definitely not easy especially in the economy and society we’re currently living in. The pressure gets heavy and social media gives our minds the opportunity to self inflict doubt due to comparison.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
First we’re going to my favorite taco truck Sabor for lunch, then we’ll make time to possibly go biking or ride scooters along the water or maybe even an outdoor yoga class. We’ll end the night at a local event, get drinks at Willis Show Bar because they have the best green teas or head to paramita to be social and listen to music

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Ashton Woods and Cardo play such a huge part in my success at this very moment. The time and dedication that they’ve contributed to my artistry means the world and it shows in my accomplishments and the music.
