Nardo Wick

Nardo Wick, whose name comes from his childhood nickname of “Lil’ Nard” and a shortened version of the word “Wicked,” first started rapping at age 17. Nardo’s father became an instant-believer upon hearing his sons’s music and soon after put together a studio for him to record in their home. Nardo used the studio his dad built and taught himself how to produce music by watching instructional videos on YouTube. By 18, Nardo was confident enough to start uploading tracks to Soundcloud, where he gained initial attention from cuts like “Lolli”, “Came Up”, and “Slide.”
