Leaning on intricate world-building through his daring, genre-bending production and otherworldly vocals, Nik Thakkar celebrates the 7th year of this beautifully extroverted artist persona NEO 10Y with the release of summer anthem, ONENESS (WHO WE ARE).

Combining influences of their Indian heritage with bold chugging guitars and deep Pop beats, NEO 10Y says ‘I wanted to release a song that encompasses my message of love and self-realisation so that we can help manifest a protopian dimension of peace together.’ 

In a track that feels like a sonic expression of a spiritual awakening with vibrant energy, and drenched with relief in the lush, romantic strings, NEO 10Y holds us in a moment of self-reflection, ending the track with an imperfect cadence to symbolise the infinite possibilities of the listeners’ own spiritual journey. Nik explains that ONENESS (WHO WE ARE) is ‘a genre expansive opus designed to take us on a trip inward so that we have the chance to choose love and connect with the most authentic versions of ourselves.’ 

It is this holistic approach to music making and sharp attention to detail that truly sets NEO 10Y’s creative spirit apart. Their force is seen across their other artistic endeavours, such as their legendary live shows which are 360º immersive experiences, which have taken place at concert venues, art galleries and festivals in London, Europe, and the US. They recently played the main stage at UK Black Pride, for Billboard magazine in New York City, and at the prestigious Secret Garden Party, as well as debuting ONENESS (WHO WE ARE) at Subculture with Brooke Candy in LA and performed it at EVITA @ Nightingale.
