Life and career
Nicoleta Matei, known by her stage name Nico (born on 1 February 1970), is a Romanian singer, TV personality and spokesperson for Catena (ro) in Romania. In her country, she is known for having collaborated with several Romanian hip hop artists, such as Morometzii (in 1999), B.U.G. Mafia (in 2000, 2002), Cabron (in 2003, 2007, 2010), Puya, Blat Jargon, and Codu Penal. She is considered one of the best Romanian voices ever. She represented Romania along with Vlad in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 with the song "Pe-o margine de lume".
In May 2009, she released a new single called Love Mail, a Pop song which was a moderate success in Romania. In 2010, she released ‘Poate Undeva’, the single being preceded by her 4th studio album, called ‘Love Mail’. On the next 3 years, Nico released several singles, but due to the lack of promotion they failed to gain much attention from media or the public.
In 2014 Nico returned to her first love, R&B, with the release of her next single, ‘Clipe’, a collaboration with Romanian rapper Shoby. Laurentiu Matei and Ovidiu Iordache wrote the song for Nico's forthcoming fifth studio album. Cat Music Label released "Clipe" on June 05, 2014.
Following the success of Clipe and the release of her 2015 single, called ‘Alt Inceput’, Nico decided it was the right time to put out a new studio album, due to release somewhere in 2016.
On February 1st, her 46th birthday, Nico released a new single called ‘In Locul Tau’, as a gift for her devoted fans. The song gathered generally positive reviews, managing to maintain an ascending trend in her career, reaching more than 3,5 million YouTube views. Nico wanted that her follow-up single would be a song everybody would see it as ‘Clipe Part II’. So she decided again to work with the same production team that wrote ‘Clipe’ in 2014. This time, Nico herself got involved in the song's composition and that makes ‘(Sa-mi Dai) Motive’ the first single she released as a co-writer. The song was released under Cat Music Label on June 30th, 2016 with a new studio album to follow right after.
