Who: Nicky Youre
Alternative
Harnessing the infectious charm of sticky melodies and honest songwriting, 26‑year‑old Nicky Youre is entering a new chapter—one rooted in authenticity, raw instrumentation, and timeless inspiration. While the Southern California native first made waves in the indie‑pop world with his bright, hook‑filled sound, he’s now creating music that, for the first time, feels truly genuine and meaningful to him.
Taking inspiration from ‘70s greats—Fleetwood Mac, The Doobie Brothers, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Bob Seger, and Faces—Youre is weaving classic textures into his evolving style. “I’m so grateful for everything I learned in the early days of my career, and now I’m excited to expand my sound into something I really care about,” he shares. “These new tracks feel like rediscovering myself—finally making the music I’ve always wanted to make but hadn’t quite found the way to until now.” Even as he embraces a more mature and grounded sonic palette, Nicky hasn’t let go of the energy, fun, and playfulness that drew fans in from the start—he’s simply found a more honest way to express it.
Nicky’s breakout single, “Sunroof,” became a runaway hit in 2022, soundtracking the summer and soaring into the Top 10 on Billboard’s Hot 100 for 11 consecutive weeks (peaking at #4). With over 2 billion streams worldwide and collaborations with artists like Thomas Rhett, Manuel Turizo, 24kGoldn, and Loud Luxury, the track cemented his status as a bright new voice in pop. It also earned him his first MTV VMA nomination for ‘Song of the Summer’ and led to his national TV debut on The TODAY Show.
Lately, Nicky has been focused on bringing his new sound to life on stage with a five-piece live band—each member singing and playing their respective instruments. The result is an experience rooted in connection, musicianship, and joy. His shows reflect the same values as the music itself: honest, energetic, and built to last.
