Nick Hakim, a singer-songwriter based in Brooklyn, New York, has emerged as a transcendent voice in the realm of psychedelic soul and R&B. With roots in Washington, D.C., Hakim's sound is a rich tapestry that weaves together elements of soul, jazz, and funk, infused with a modern experimental edge that defies easy classification. His music is introspective and emotive, marked by a hauntingly beautiful vocal delivery and deeply personal lyricism that explores themes of love, loss, and introspection.

Hakim first garnered attention with his two-part EP release, "Where Will We Go, Pt. I & II" in 2014, which showcased his knack for crafting soulful, lo-fi tunes that resonate on a deeply emotional level. However, it was his 2017 debut album, "Green Twins," that solidified his place as a groundbreaking artist in the music industry, with its ethereal soundscapes and innovative production. Following up with his 2020 album, "WILL THIS MAKE ME GOOD," Hakim continued to push boundaries, delivering a project that was both a reflection on personal tragedy and a meditation on the societal issues of our time. The album, along with its subsequent remixes and Hakim's recent releases such as "COMETA" and "All the Bones Had Names," exemplifies his continuous evolution as an artist committed to exploring new sonic territories while staying grounded in his soulful roots. Through his work, Nick Hakim invites listeners into a world of introspective exploration and emotional depth, marking him as a unique and influential voice in contemporary music.
