Nicolai on SoundBetter

Emotional Soundscapes | Piano, Strings & Storytelling. Every track tells a story, let me help you tell it. I blend orchestral textures, custom sound design, and piano-driven melodies. My work is shaped by a love of film scores and human experience.

I’m Nicolai — a producer, pianist, and storyteller working at the intersection of emotion and atmosphere. My approach is intuitive and detail-focused, drawing from years of exploring sound design, melodic composition and modern productions.

I work best when there’s a feeling to follow — an image, a story, or a spark of something personal.

I only take on projects that resonate — if I say yes, it’s because I believe I can help you make something truly moving.

It was great fun working with Nicolai. We collaborated in true musician spirit and came up with not one but 2 very unique tracks and they are so special compare to the standard pop. I can't wait to start the next track with Nicolai
