Yulia Niko: “Never Listen To Anyone”

Published: April 30, 2024

QnA Yulia Niko

After a terrible car accident as a teenager left her in serious condition, Yulia Niko passed the time, absorbing everything and anything about dance music. A year later, she was playing her first gig, and she's just released her debut album, TWINSOUL. We asked her to sit through our long-standing Q&A series.

If you weren't making music, what would you be doing?

I would be a stand-up comedian. Or maybe a detective. Or a yoga teacher! 

What's the best advice you’ve ever received?

Never listen to anyone!

Best club experience?

Ah, it’s so hard to say. The first club that comes to mind, which I just recently went to, is in Baku, Azerbaijan. The club is named FOMO—it’s amazing.

What's the worst job you’ve ever had?

I was a waitress in Manhattan. It's not a bad job but the people who came into the restaurant were so moody and I don't deal well with moody people.

How do you know when a track's finished?

I think this is my biggest problem because I get overexcited. I often think the track is finished when I release it, and then one year later, I’m like, "Ugh..."

QnA Yulia Niko

Which song do you wish you wrote?

One that’s going to win a Grammy! 

What's the easiest way to make it in the music industry?

Get a Grammy!! To make a hit - that’s for sure. 

Recommend us a book.

I really like the book 'Attached'. I recommend it to all my friends, and they always thank me. It’s about relationships and how to love yourself and be better with yourself. It’s a very important book—read it.

What one piece of software/kit could you not do without? Why?

Most of my tracks and beautiful melodic sounds were made with DIVA. I highly recommend that you get DIVA if you start producing music—it’s the key.
