“Music is my passion”, says Nique, who launched his DJ career in Colorado in the early 90s by pounding dance floors with his infamous house sets. “Music allows me to express myself and connect with the rest of the world – whether it’s from my chair in my studio or behind the decks across the world.” During his stint in Colorado, Nique became a frequent name seen on flyers throughout the state and landed residencies with premier production companies and clubs. Since then, his career has taken all over the world, and in 1998, he found himself pulled back to his roots in Chicago, the city where house music was born.
