Niko Ellison is an accomplished vocalist and performer who developed and refined his expertise as a member of the United States Air Force Band. He not only provided a voice of distinction and diversity for both the East & West divisions but led them honorably both on and off the stage on a tour of duty through a total of 46 states. Niko’s military service culminated with a stellar performance of God Bless America during game 7 of the 2013 World Series in front of a crowd of 40,000 people, and a television audience of 12.5 million. Niko, like every Veteran, has contemplated life after service and has diligently prepared himself for a music career outside of the military. His transition has included key performances with the Virginia Symphony and the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, and background vocal support for a tribute recording featuring the songs of Frankie Beverly, as well as backing vocalist sessions with Huey Lewis & the News. In addition, Niko is parlaying his vocal expertise into a role as a vocal producer and arranger in the music industry. His vocal coaching and vocal arrangement expertise played a pivotal role in igniting the budding success of Kehlani Parrish aka Lani Tsunami(Cloud 19/HBK Gang), who's 2015 release "You Should Be Here", debuted at #2 on the Billboard R&B Charts and up and coming Adam Levine protégé and 222 Recording Artist, Rozzi Crane(Space), who has toured with Maroon five and has been featured on The Today Show and The Voice. Niko also has a dual Master's Certificate in Songwriting and Music Business from Berklee College of Music, a Core Audio Certificate in Music Production and Sound Design from Pyramind SF and has studied with world-renowned​ vocal coach Seth Riggs, and 2 time Grammy nominated music educator Shane Adams.
