Cris Nikolas Seeks to Revolutionize Industry
Bringing a New Sound to the Scene, the Artist Looks to Shake Things Up

United Indie Records and the Beat Gorillaz are proud to introduce to the world recording artist, Cris Nikolas. Cris Nikolas provides a breath of fresh air in a time of cookie cutter artists who wait for others to release music so that they may compete. Cris stays true to himself and creates music that sounds like nothing you have ever heard before. His musical style and flair always have a positive and lasting effect on everyone who listens to his material.

Cris has released three hit singles to date that are currently making major waves in the industry. “Shake it Shake it, Drop it,” “Not That Kinda Guy,” and “My Name is Cris Nikolas” have all been featured on a recent “tripa single” by United Indie Records and Beat Gorillaz. This release is to give the fans, the media, and the industry a taste of what is to come from his upcoming self-titled album. Don’t expect to hear anything on the album similar to what you hear from his singles though. Cris looks to feature tracks on his album that focus on his broad range of musical taste and talent and you can expect a potential hit in nearly every category of music courtesy of the trio of Cris Nikolas, Tommi Valentino, and Dave Angstadt. Keep your eyes to the charts and ears to the airwaves for the coming of Cris Nikolas to a countdown chart or radio station near you.

The latest review by Suan Kee-Toh courtesy of TalentScout Magazine: “Cris Nikolas is going to be a force to reckon with. His sound separates him from everyone else currently in the music industry. A definite must-listen.”

Bio

Cris Nikolas born Christopher Nicholas Drick was born 12/19/86 (Sagittarius) in Marietta, Georgia. At an early age he expressed artistic talent, writing ability and athletic ability as well. It was obvious that he was going to pursue many avenues, playing basketball in junior high and high school sports-wise but also through poetry and lyric writing, creating much material that he would carry around in a notebook which also served as self-expression about who he was and what he wanted to say. His upbringing was not a typical one but he had a foundation through extended family and friends that would see him through many changes in his life - some that challenged him to overcome obstacles, some that would threaten his life, some that would make him realize that he could overcome hard times and see not only who he had been but what he wanted to become and to express that in lyrics, benefiting others who would relate. He also has a natural sense of humor that is a building block in the overall person that he is, seeing life in a humorous light that is infectious to others. His hobbies are working out to maintain a healthy lifestyle, basketball, running, drawing and hanging out with his friends. Cris lives his life with positive thinking - thinking forward instead of backward, seeing the things that can improve his life and avoiding the things that are negative influences on him. His music style is not meant to be categorized as much as it is meant to be experienced, "not to emulate or imitate but to initiate" a style of his own. The biggest reward from making his music is the ability to make people dance, make people think and reinforce the fact that music is the uniting force that brings us all together.
