Nicholas van Rijn (N. V. R.) is an artist from Melbourne, Australia, constanttly learning and fine tuning his craft. Born in Mexkco City, it wasnt until Nicholas moved to Germany with his family, at the age of 4, that he discovered his passion for music, a passion that continues to grow and develop until this day. Piano tuition and enrolment into a musical school with the focus on classicasl music built the foundation and nurtured his passion & joy for music in general. 
It wasnt until he discovered heavy metal at the age of 14 that  N. V. R. picked up the guitar and started to develop his own music and ideas. Bands like Dream Theatre, Symphony X, Pantera and Persefonde, just to name a few, are still a big influence and source of inspiration today. 
However, it did take another 10 years for him to find and appriciate several styles and genres of electronic music, with a strong intrest in Psytrance, Zenon Records being an alltime favourite as a Psytrance-focused lable. 
Finally moving to Australia in 2014, N.V.R. was forced into a  global lockdown in March 2020 that he began his journey in music production, recording & developing his sound and identity from his St. Kilda East apartment. Self tought, he shed his identity as an instrumentalist and today describes himself as a producer of mainyl electronic music, open minded and always on the hunt for inspriration and new ideas.
