Nikos Charalambous was born in Limassol in 1991. He started with guitar around the age of 16 and was mostly self-taught at that time. He initially surrounded himself with rock/metal music, built his own band while composing his own songs and eventually started performing in rock clubs and festivals around the island.
Gradually the musical search moved into jazz and the improvisational aspect of music. In 2013 he enrolled himself in ArtEZ University of the Arts Arnhem, where he obtained his Bachelor degree in Jazz & Pop Guitar Performance. Through this time, besides leading his own groups with original compositions, being a sideman for various projects within jazz, pop and free improvised music, he has also performed for dance, film and art productions in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.
After completing his Master’s degree on Jazz guitar at Codarts Rotterdam, he continues to compose new material and develop further in his musical journey with various band formations through genres like jazz, blues, rock, funk, pop, latin, free-impro and electronic music.
His debut album "Pleasures and Heartaches" was released in 2020.
