Niko Rubio is a Mexican‑Salvadoran American singer‑songwriter based in Los Angeles, known for blending pop, indie rock, Latin, and reggae-inspired sounds into music that is both vibrant and deeply personal.

Growing up in Southern California, Niko was influenced by her family’s cultural roots—classic Mexican rancheras and mariachi from her grandparents, alongside the rock and pop sounds of California introduced by her mother. This dual heritage shaped her identity and creative vision.

She first gained attention with her 2021 EP Wish You Were Here, showcasing crisp vocals and indie-pop sensibility. In 2023, she leaned further into her Latin roots with her Spanish-language EP Mar y Tierra, blending live instrumentation, traditional elements, and indie-rock textures, including a notable duet with Cuco.

In 2025, she released her latest EP Ring Ring, a four-track collection mixing horn sections, relaxed reggae grooves, Spanish guitar ballads, and her signature jazzy cadence. Inspired by California beaches and trips to Mexico City, the project reflects both sides of her identity—emotional, honest, and playful.

Niko continues to tour across the U.S., connecting with audiences through her bilingual storytelling and genre-blending style, while using her platform to highlight her heritage and personal experiences. On stage and in her recordings, she balances authenticity, energy, and a deeply relatable voice that resonates across cultures.
