Please Help China 2008-05-31

In Honor of Those Who Have Died in the Sichuan Earthquake

China has a very special place in my heart. I have grieved over the injuries, deaths and great loss caused by the earthquake in the Sichuan province of China. Over 65,000 people have died and 5 million people are homeless. It’s hard to even comprehend.

I have made a donation to help with sending food to those in need and I am giving away a special song to China in honor of all those who have died and lost loved ones. I would like to ask that you consider giving whatever you can give in whatever way you can give it. Some people do not have money to give, that’s ok, many great gifts do not even have a price tag on them. Follow your own heart and do whatever you feel led to do. The key is to do something. Thank you so much for your consideration!

Some people have asked me which organizations I suggest they use for making donations, there are so many, here are two TRUSTWORTHY ones I have given to in times past, here are the direct links to specifically donate to the cause in China:

Thank you for all the Birthday Wishes!!! :) 2007-08-24

Thank you so much for all the warm birthday wishes!!! I got emails, ecards, photos and guest book entries from so many countries around the world!!! I think I got more wishes this year than in all the past years combined! I want all of you to know I took time to read each and every one of them!

It was a great day! I feel something fresh in the air! Change! It just so happens that on the the 20th, we completed our rehearsal hall, between that and all the love I felt from so many, I couldn’t have asked for a better 33rd B-day! Here are a couple of photos from the day…

As you can see, I am wearing a Rocco Deluca T-shirt. I got it last weekend at his concert here in Nashville. If you do not know him and his music, you are missing out on something REAL! He is one of the most passionate musical artists I have ever seen play live. He left me speechless. I have not been that impressed by anyone’s performance since years. I encourage you to support him. You can visit his site at www.roccodeluca.com or at www.myspace.com/roccodeluca

TV Interview with Niko about his song Joy! 2007-06-19

Greetings to everyone around the world! Yesterday I did a short TV interview here in Nashville on a morning show called “Talk of the Town”, the interview was about my song “Joy” and the TV commercial it is featured in. The commercial is part of an advertising campaign called “Feel The Joy!”, promoting sedation dentistry. The campaign is in the process of going national here in the USA! Anyway, I thought you all might enjoy seeing it! It was fun!

Niko’s song “You’re In Heaven” released by EMI Records 2007-06-11

Hello, World…this is NIKO…have you got…just a moment? *smile*

I’m happy to announce that EMI Records in Greece has just released a compilation CD titled “Never The Same” on which my song “You’re In Heaven” (from the Love album) is featured!

Now, here’s where I need your help…

As you know, I’ve been giving my music away for free, but I need your support on this one. If sales and radio response are strong, we will be able to discuss a full album release with EMI! In case you don’t know, EMI is one of the largest record labels in the world. If they sign me to their label, my dream of getting my music to the world will come true!

So, for those of you who are willing, I am asking two things:

1 – Please buy the album. Buy a copy for a friend…or ask a friend to buy a copy! The CD is available at major retail outlets throughout Greece and Cyprus - like Virgin Megastores, Metropolis, and PMW. With your help, we can take it to #1…it debuted this week at #11. Outside of Greece and Cyprus, you can still buy the album, but it will need to be by special order. Simply ask about it at your local record store (because of licensing issues, it’s not available online).

2 – If you are in Greece or Cyprus, call your local radio stations and request Niko, and specifically the song “You’re in Heaven” from the CD “Never the Same” on Minos-EMI Records !!!

Thanks so much for your support!

Niko
P.S. If you are in the Nashville area, tune into News Channel 5’s “Talk Of The Town” on Monday, June 18th, at 11am. I’ll be doing a live T.V. interview!

P.P.S. Here’s the album cover…
