So it is not wrong to say that Nico Sereba is an Afro-Norwegian.<\/p>\n<p>He was born on December 1, 1992. He stayed with his parents in Ivory Coast for one year before they\u00a0finally moved to Oslo, Norway.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to his career in the music world, Nico had no passion for music but for soccer. But meeting his new friend and a rapper in 2009, they formed a pair called Envy<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0developed a goal which was\u00a0to inspire people to find happiness, and music was just the best vehicle towards achieving such goal. Hence came the\u00a0agreement to work together in order to\u00a0tap into the heart of global culture by writing and performing songs that joyfully speak of life, love, and identity.<\/p>\n<p>Though a Norwegian, Nico prefers to consider himself Afro-Norwegian. Perhaps meeting his friend Vincent Dery, whose parents are Ghanaian, helped to boost his interest and ideology about the African continent. Together, they produced music with an Ivorian and Ghanaian background.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/nico-s..jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11912 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/nico-s..jpg\" alt=\"nico s.\" width=\"978\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/nico-s..jpg 978w, https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/nico-s.-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/nico-s.-900x506.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 978px) 100vw, 978px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Alongside their goal, Nico is engrossed in pursuing the group&#8217;s mission of\u00a0making magic in the studio, dreaming up the most imaginative videos to illustrate the group&#8217;s\u00a0ideas and how to travel the world to share their artistry with everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Showing his burning desire for Africa, Nico and his friend named their debut album &#8216;Black Elephant&#8217; as a sign of homage to their respective fatherland.
