Nick Monaco only has one secret — and it's that Nick Monaco is his real name. He's never afraid to be exposed. 

He is a fluid, eclectic spirit, a way of being in the world. He's the guy that you swear that you know from somewhere. But it's not him that you recognize. It's the familiar, essential, pulse of his art and aura.

With his first two albums, Mating Call and Half Naked, Nick Monaco established himself as an irresistibly magnetic, relentlessly creative, and genre-defying artist in dance music. 

Now, with the creation of his new label, UNISEX Records, and his latest works Pop Works and Heroin Disco, he announces himself again as one of the most original and insightful artists working in the genre. 

Always creating music toward the values of inclusivity, radical self-expression, the strange and uncanny, Monaco stands as a powerful and positive force against the homogeneity of mainstream dance music, asking everyone to wave their freak flags high along with him. 

Through his music, enthralling performances, collaborations with artists of all media, impeccable musical curation, and worldwide touring, Nick Monaco has created more than just a holistic sensory experience — he's created a community, a network of lovers.

NeoNinja is an American music producer, musician, and DJ based out of Los Angeles, California.

Originally hailing from the Pacific Northwest, NeoNinja spent his early life training as a percussionist and drummer­­. While studying many of the greatest classical composers history has to offer, he honed his skills as a musician, performing for many years in orchestras, bands, and drum lines. Having developed a musical foundation rooted in classical, jazz, and rock, he eventually relocated to Los Angeles to follow his passion for music and learn the digital side of audio creation. After receiving a degree in audio engineering from the Los Angeles Recording School, NeoNinja went on to work at two world renowned recording studios based in the city. While working alongside some of the biggest names in the industry and witnessing music created in real-time by producers like Timbaland, will.i.am, and Ryan Tedder, NeoNinja decided to pursue the art of music production.

In 2012, NeoNinja’s focus shifted to Electronic Dance Music and the rapidly accelerating growth EDM was seeing in the US. Believing that music created with a computer was the natural progression of the art form in the digital age—with musical influences like Avicii, Cosmic Gate, Above & Beyond, Morgan Page, and Gareth Emery—NeoNinja got to work developing his own unique style and sound. After experimenting for a time, he realized that his classical training could be applied to nearly every EDM genre. From the ethereal sounds of Progressive House and Trance to the melodic grooves of Deep House and Tropical, NeoNinja thrives when creating music that melds emotion with energy, producing songs that often blur the lines between genres. Combining orchestral instruments from his past with digital synths of the present, he effortlessly blends acoustic and electronic mediums to create a contemporary sound that feels as timeless as music itself. With soaring melodies, entrancing chords, and unapologetic grooves, his music evokes feelings of excitement, euphoria, and fulfillment in all who listen.

After winning popular vote in a remix competition for San Fermin—and placing in numerous others—he began to amass a following of dedicated listeners and fans in over 50 countries. By remixing popular songs, he was able to tap into the fanbase of established artists like Ferry Corsten, Avicii, and Ed Sheeran; bringing his unique style to music-lovers worldwide. Eventually, one of his remixes found its way onto national television via Dancing with The Stars, where it reached millions of ears. Believing that music should be at the forefront of everything he does, he prefers to work from the shadows. NeoNinja is currently in his studio making new music and polishing over 30 tracks for release as he builds up to his debut album in 2022.
