Organic groove—that's probably the best way to describe the music of Nikolas Katrantzis. Groove, that rhythmic energy that makes you want to move. Organic, a word that in Greek refers to both instruments and life itself. With a thoughtful and honest approach, Nikolas creates music that feels alive, flowing naturally and connecting with listeners on a genuine level.

NK36 (a wordplay on the artist’s name in French; N.Katrantzis = NK36) is the project of the Greco-Swiss pianist and double bassist, based between Lausanne and Basel, where he continues his studies at the Musik Akademie under the guidance of Shai Maestro.

In July 2024, Nikolas released his debut EP “Journey To”, which has already surpassed 70,000 streams in just a few months. The five-track project highlights his versatility, with Nikolas playing piano, bass, and guitar himself. It has led to performances on both local and international stages, including a show in Paris (September 2024). His work also caught the attention of the Greek media, earning him three radio interviews and a live performance on the national broadcaster ERT.
