Biography
Born in Verdun, a small town outside of Montreal, there was never really any doubt that Nyki would end up playing music. His dad was a big influence: Eric Lindsay (aka, Youth Rass-E-Mung) had recorded reggae albums in Jamaica’s legendary Studio One and produced some of Montreal’s first reggae shows. Nyki Lyndsay KingBy the time Nyki was four, his father was buying him musical instruments to inspire him. Within a few years, Nyki was onstage—along with his brothers Kwame and Tarie—performing as “The King Brothers.” They were immensely popular, performing throughout the 80s. By ’92 he recorded two tracks in Jamaica included on a compilation album, Fight Apartheid, and distributed internationally. In 1995 he fronted his first rock band (“Frantic”—with brother Tarie on drums) which played some major venues and in 2000 released Dinner At M’as. In 2003, Nyki released his debut solo album, Couch Potato, with SDR Music. Nyki is currently fusing the music he grew up listening to as a child (the Doors, Zeppelin, Michael Jackson, Hendrix and even The Carpenters), with the alternative/grunge rock of his adolescence and the soulful reggae of his Jamaican ancestry. He creates music that is at once contemporary, and completely radio-friendly. His hard rock songs feature interesting arrangements, stop-on-a-dime breaks, and surprising, dissonant harmonies that set up kick-ass choruses.see more...
