As a co-author, he was involved in titles on Bushido's and Shindy's album Cla$$ic, Mark Forster's single Wir sind Groß and Helene Fischer's single Achterbahn.
Private Life
He was born in 1993 in Bremen as the son of Egon and Lisa Wellenbrink. His sister from his father's first marriage, Susanna and her daughter Mia-Sophie work as actresses. Shortly after his birth, his parents moved with him from Germany to the Spanish island of Mallorca. He attended the primary school in Es Capdellá, where he was taught in Spanish and Catalan in addition to his native German. In addition to his music career, he worked as an entertainer in a club hotel on Mallorca. He graduated from high school in Spanish and studied sound engineering in Cologne.
Career as a musician
His parents each had their own bands and supported him. At the age of five, he and his sister Clarissa recorded their first stanzas for children's radio plays in their father's studio. He also received piano lessons from the age of six and continued to learn to sing and dance. At a young age he performed at festivals in Spain and played some songs produced by himself and his father. Appearances also followed in Germany, one of them together with Max Mutzke, Aura Dione and Robyn for ProSieben. He uploaded both cover songs and his own compositions, including Eres Perfecta, to YouTube. This song became a surprise success and was clicked several hundred thousand times within a very short time.
In 2012 he teamed up with the US rapper KY. Together they appeared as KY & Nico. In 2013, the duo decided to split up and focus on their solo careers. In spring 2013 Santos became aware of DJ Antoine's co-producer B-Case through the club's success House Party and began to produce together. One of the first results was the piece Feel It, which B-Case had been planning for a long time with Jack Holiday and Tony T.
In early 2014, he and B-Case recorded the song Lucky L, which is based on the cartoon character Lucky Luke. The song surpassed the success of Feel It and moved up to number 6 in the international DJ charts, number 19 on iTunes and number 5 in the Bravo charts. There it stayed in the top 10 for over 10 weeks. A few weeks later they released an acoustic version of the track. The song Symphony made it straight into the German mainstream airplay and Bravo reader charts in October 2014.
Together with Djorkaeff & Beatzarre and B-Case he produced the soundtrack for the film Fack ju Göhte 2. The songs He’s Gonna Be Alright and Here Comes the Sun sung by download portals became the most successful songs on the CD. They also wrote the song Promised Land together for the Jamaican singer Omi, who celebrated his worldwide breakthrough with cheerleaders in the same year. He was also involved in the song Don’t Give Up on Us by Janieck Devy.
Parallel to his collaboration with B-Case, he recorded the song Holding On with the Swiss DJ and producer Mr Da-Nos in 2015, which became the title song of the German movie 3 Turks and a Baby. With Holding On, Santos made it into the official Swiss single charts for the first time. In 2016 the song Home was released, which was created in collaboration with the musician Topic. In Germany and Austria, Home moved up to number twelve and ten, in Australia it reached number eleven in the official charts and was awarded platinum. Another single followed together with Micar under the title Brothers in Arms, which also represents deep house. In Portugal, he achieved commercial success in the spring with the Tropical House single Waterfalls in collaboration with Lvndscape and Holland Park.
Together with Mark Forster and the duo Djorkaeff & Beatzarre, he wrote the song Wir sind groß, which went straight into the top 10 of the German single charts. The song was the official EM song of ZDF in 2016 and was awarded platinum. In January 2017, the Tatort Söhne & Väter was broadcast, for which Santos and his team colleagues Djorkaeff & Beatzarre and Michael Beckmann wrote the soundtrack. In April 2017 the single Goodbye to Love was released, which is featured by the Norwegian DJ duo Broiler. One of the actresses in the accompanying video clip is the German-Turkish actress Gizem Emre.
In June 2017 Lena Meyer-Landrut presented her song If I Wasn’t Your Daughter, which she had written together with Santos. Lena is also accompanied by Santos on the piano. In the late summer of 2017, Santos released his solo single Rooftop.
