Nicky Siano is a pioneer of the dance music scene in the early seventies. He inspired and launched the careers of Grace Jones, D.C. La Rue, Loleatta Holloway, Larry Levan and Frankie Knuckles.
Nickys career began in 1971 and within one year, at the age of seventeen, he opened his own club, The Gallery. New York Daily News named him the citys best DJ, Womens Wear Daily called him a genius behind the turntables, and New York Magazine called his club, The Gallery, one of the five most visually breathtaking nightspots of our time. Grace Jones and Loleatta Holloway both made their debut appearances at his legendary nightspot.
His talent for spotting a great record or talented singer was proved by the amount of big records and great artists he discovered. Through out the seventies the Gallery was New Yorks most famous underground club, which regularly delighted large crowds for most of the decade with the true meaning of a party.
It was no coincidence that when Steve Rubelle opened Studio 54 he chose Nicky as one of the two original DJs. Continuing his work at the Gallery on the weekends, Nicky weaved his magic during the week at many legendary clubs, including Le Jardin, The Grand Ballroom, Galaxy 21, The Limelight, Enchanted Gardens, Hurrah, The Botel, The Buttermilk Bottom and, of course, Studio 54.
As one of the most ground breaking pioneers and sought after Djs of the era, the natural progression was production.
In 1977, he became the first DJ to produce a record-- the underground classic Kiss Me Again on Sire Records, which sold more than 300,000 copies. In 1983, Nicky produced and wrote the top ten--dance classic Pick It Up.
He recent years he has mixed Believe In Yourself by Melissa Morgan, Im Comin By Taana Gardner, Pillow Talk by Jazzhole, Tiger Stripes by Nicky Siano and produced a new album, titled Live My Life.
From 1984 until 1998, Nicky worked with people with AIDS. He returned to the turntables at 'Body and Soul' for Larry Levans Birthday celebration, July 1998. That one appearance returned him to music full time.
Since then he has played worldwide events in Moscow, Stockholm, London, Copenhagen and Sydney to name but a few. As well as the hit party, Twelve West in New York, at the Cheetah club which, was heralded by New York Magazine, The Village Voice, Time Out, Hx, Next, Flyer, DJ Times and Paper Magazine as the party of the year.
His Australian tour in March of 2003 sold out 6 arena's in 4 cities.

ELI olisi todella kiva vaihtaa vuosi tyylikkään disco-musan tahdissa, mutta tollainen hintapolitiikka ei todellakaan sovellu tavalliselle ihmiselle :P
No ei nyt 20 mikään mahdoton hinta tavallisellekaan ihmiselle ole, varsinkin kun sillä saa vielä ruoat :)
Mutta mikä hiton !! EXTRA !! EXTRA !! EXTRA... pliis
Se setti kyl tulee kyl oleen 20:n arvonen...
Ei missään muualla suomessa tai maailmassa pääse kuunteleen kansainvälistä tähteä, saa lasillista shampanjaa ja kunnon safkaa kahrella kympillä...*iihhih*
