Cardiff-hailing artist Niques makes garage and R&B soul, giving you that old school feeling. The rising artist has already had Representz, BBC, and KISS radio plays and was featured in a talk with BBC Bitesize. Niques has also opened for Manga and D Double E as well as supported Sam Binga’s Pineapple records tour.

Using the NextGen Fund, Niques will release five songs over the period of a year, one with a music video.

In April 2023, Niques performed at Youth Music's NextGen community event in Cardiff.
