Bios by Steve Rogers

Niko - A native Richmond,VA, Niko developed his writing ability at age 6 and began performing around town at the age of 9. With his mother encouraging him to write a song a day, he began to develop his own style that fit him. Being unhappy with rapping and singing about ordinary topics, he began writing about things interesting to him. Many of these topics came from life, females, astrology, comic books, and his family. Quickly he became a well known writer/performer in his hometown. In June 2009 he graduated high school and attended Elizabeth City State University that August. Recently, in October of 2009 he formed an alternative band by the name of T.I.M.E. with his cousin Reggie Tarver who is a producer/musician.

T.I.M.E. (Taking In Music Eternally) - When college began, Niko and Reggie aspired to be future music movers in their own right. The common goal they shared brought them together and they formed an alternative band known as T.I..M.E. It didn't take long for the two to find a specific sound that fit them. After a Facebook video of their song "Hero", the duo was asked to be guests on the campus radio station. Not much later, they performed at an open mic and were asked to showcase their music at a student body meeting. T.I.M.E. is currently working on their EP entitled "Broken Clock Faces". The divine duo and self-proclaimed Time Keepers of Hip-Hop & Rock are definitely on their way. All they're doing is waiting on the right T.I.M.E.
