The creation of M.E.E.K.O. started back in his Army days while stationed at Fort Hood, Texas. Upon arriving at Fort Hood, Nick met and instantly became friends with a cool dude from California by the name of Ivan. Ivan opened Nick’s eyes to a whole new genre of music…electronic dance music. Many days were spent after work playing FIFA soccer and John Madden football on Nintendo 64 while listening to mixed CDs by DJs such as Christopher Lawrence, Paul Oakenfold, Sasha, John Digweed, and Paul Van Dyk. Then one night, Ivan convinced Nick to attend an electronic music show named “Joy” in Austin, Texas. This was the first time Nick had experienced this powerful music in real life. DJ Dan, Micro, Christopher Lawrence and several other talented DJs changed Nick’s life that night. The incredible sound, fun environment and dedicated fans were like nothing he had ever experienced before. From that night on, Nick’s love for the music continued to grow exponentially. Over the next several years Nick continued to attend live DJ sets and electronic band acts throughout Texas, California, and Florida. During this time period Nick was fortunate enough to experience live music by some of the world’s top DJs, producers, and electronic bands by attending massive shows such as: Nocturnal Wonderland, Together as One NYE, Ultra Music Festival, WMC, Texas Zen Festival, IndepenDance Festival, Bang! Music Festival and several others. Nick then realized that he wanted to be the one on stage making 20,000+ people dance their asses off. Then one magical Christmas, in 2003, Nick finally got his own turntables and a 2 channel mixer and started to learn the art of DJing. From that point on he has never looked back!

M.E.E.K.O., aka Multiple Electronic Elements Kollaborating as One, is a name derived from Nick’s last name, D’Amico. His Army friends would simply call him “Meeko” for short. This nickname stuck and became his chosen DJ name. Later, the acronym was created to describe Nick’s style of music. He is a true fan of all EDM and likes to spin dance music influenced by many different sub-genres. Depending on the environment he is in, you may hear anything from deep dark tech-house to dirty bass-driven electro house to flavorful Latin influenced tribal beats to progressively building melodic tracks and beyond. M.E.E.K.O. is currently an up and coming DJ in the Tampa Bay area. He is the founder of Obsessive Compulsive Productions and now a member of the reputable Tampa House Music / THM DJ crew. M.E.E.K.O. has rocked the dance floor at several bars, clubs, and venues over the past 4 years and is ready to emerge as one of Tampa Bay’s top DJs. M.E.E.K.O. is always looking for new ways to improve his skills and hopes to be featured as a headliner DJ one day so he can share his musical tastes among the masses!
