Biography

Niko Nelson, born and raised in Sacramento, CA, is an Actor, Singer, and Dancer whose journey into the spotlight began at the tender age of five. His first audition-though too young for the role-was for the White Rabbit in his older sister's school play, Alice in Wonderland. The director was so impressed by his performance, including a lively rendition of NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye", that they noted he would've landed the part had it not been for his age.

By 11, Niko took center stage in his first leading role as the principal in America's Tallest Tales, a musical that set the stage for a career filled with both passion and purpose. As a teenager, Niko honed his craft through countless auditions for iconic Disney and Nickelodeon series like Hannah Montana, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, and Zoey 101. His stage credits include the charming Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid, the ever-cool Danny Zuko in Grease, and a double-cast portrayal of Conrad Birdie and Hugo Peabody in Bye Bye Birdie.

With a deep commitment to the craft, Niko trained in Soap and Sitcom acting, and auditioned relentlessly for commercial and print work in San Francisco. His education spans a Bachelor's in Psychology and a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy, adding depth to his performances, and helping him understand the intricacies of human connection.

Now based in Los Angeles, Niko is on the verge of becoming the TV and Film star his mentors always knew he would be. "Courageously, I pursue my dream," Niko says, and the depth he brings to each role-shaped by years of perseverance and guidance from masters in the field-proves he has only just begun to shine.
