The daughter of a jazz pianist, Marti Nikko spent her childhood in nightclubs, absorbing the art and wisdom of many great musicians. Enthralled by what she heard, she began to sing and perform her own music, infusing her innate grasp of jazz and soul into a warm, natural voice. Marti met DJ Drez shortly after high school when they began performing and recording together. Over two decades, their collaboration has become an intimate musical language that effortlessly translates into and between many styles of music, including hip-hop, reggae, kirtan, jazz, and soul. In addition to Marti’s talents as a singer, songwriter, and performer, she teaches yoga and pilates around the world and in the Bay Area where she and Drez live and love their 2 children.
