Nicky Romero

Strike up a conversation about the current state of electronic music, and it won’t be long before Nicky Romero gets an emphatic mention. In only a few prolific years, this international superstar has built nothing short of a musical empire. Celebrated worldwide for his countless chart-topping records and electrifying energy on the world’s most distinguished stages, the charismatic Dutch performer, producer, Protocol Recordings chief, and global brand ambassador has already established an international reputation as one of the most exciting and industrious artists of his generation. With unwavering dedication to growing and maturing the Nicky Romero brand at every turn, the Protocol don continues to affirm his position as one of the most influential and respected forces in the international music arena today.

Nicky stormed the charts in 2012, as everything he touched turned to gold. ’Toulouse’ generated over 60 million plays, and his subsequent collaboration with Avicii on ’I Could Be the One’ surpassed 422 million plays, earning him DJ Mag’s ’Highest New Entry Award’.

That year also saw the rise of his renowned record label, Protocol Recordings, which has since established itself as a major player among electronic dance music labels, bolstered by its progressive approach to music and extraordinary live events. The label has hosted major events at some of the world’s most prominent electronic music gatherings, including Miami Music Week, Amsterdam Dance Event, Tomorrowland Brazil, and Sziget Festival, always treating fans to a true sonic experience that satisfies their hedonistic desires and cravings for new music. Protocol’s focus on developing emerging artists has garnered a roster of incredible talent, from veterans like Deniz Koyu, Thomas Gold, and Stadiumx to new discoveries such as Timmo Hendriks, Almero, and DØBER. Every week, 35 million people across over 110 countries tune in to Protocol Radio to catch up on the latest tunes, remixes, bootlegs, and more. With its ever-evolving imprint, captivating stage presence, and consistently cutting-edge new music, Protocol has more than earned its spot at the top.

In 2023, Nicky Romero exceeded everyone’s expectations by announcing his first-ever solo show, Nightvision. This event took place at one of the largest venues in the Netherlands, AFAS Live in Amsterdam, with a capacity of 6,000 people. Musically, Nicky is currently in top form with tracks such as ’I Wanna Dance’ with Hardwell, ’All You Need Is Love’ with Jonas Blue, and ’Desire’ with TELYKAST, as well as nurturing talent signed and supported by Protocol’s founder himself!
