“The word wunderkind was pretty much invented for the likes of 24-year-old producer Nicky Romero.” – DJMag
Strike up a conversation about the current state of EDM and it won’t be long before Nicky Romero gets an emphatic mention. The breakthrough star with the bulletproof work ethic is credited as a driving force behind the fantastic health the scene currently enjoys. In every aspect of his life – as DJ, producer and label head – he is a tireless advocate for his art. Couple this with his distinctive signature sound and compelling output, and it is no surprise that he exploded into the DJ Mag Top 100 chart at number 17 in 2012, the highest new entry that year, and rose up to number 7 in 2013.
Nicky Romero, real name Nick Rotteveel, was born January 6th 1989 in the small city of Amerongen, Holland. A keen interest in the drums and an early career spinning house and r&b quickly evolved into an unbridled passion for music production. Early releases, picked up by boutique outfit Once Records, caught the attention of some of the more established labels: Spinnin’, Fly Eye, Toolroom and Flamingo Recordings.
As he worked on honing his sound – a seductive blend of progressive house tinged with electro and acid – he sent a bootleg of David Guetta smash “When Love Takes Over” out into the world. The track’s online success piqued the interest of Guetta himself and in that moment Romero found his mentor and champion. They have since collaborated on multiple projects including “Metropolis” and “Wild One Two,” and in the summer of 2012 Nicky Romero accepted a residency at David Guetta’s infamous FMIF club night at Pacha/Ushuaia Ibiza.
Today, Nicky Romero is paying it forward with his Protocol brand that is quickly establishing itself as a leading dance music platform - a go-to outlet for forward-thinking dance music. Championing up and coming artists, like Don Diablo, John Dahlback, Vicetone, Kryder, Michael Calfan and Merk & Kremont, with his record label, club night and radio show, Romero extends his influence to help develop the next generation of artists, while also supporting more established acts such as Calvin Harris, R3hab, Nervo, Krewella and Bassjackers, amongst others. With the label’s releases consistently flowing in the Beatport top 10, it is clear that its impact is being heard around the world. Furthermore, Protocol Radio, a weekly show syndicated to more than 60 radio stations on FM, receives over 40 million listeners every week and it continues to grow at a rapid rate.
Recent studio output includes “S.O.T.U.,” a single released on Steve Angello’s label Size Records, the worldwide hit, “Legacy” with Krewella, his solo single, “Symphonica,” his UK #1 “I Could Be The One” with Avicii, and remixes for Zedd, Calvin Harris, and more. Additionally, Romero has produced Rihanna’s track, “Right Now,” together with David Guetta, as well as two tracks for Britney Spears. Whether it’s his own original song, a collaboration, or an inventive remix, he consistently receives massive support from a veritable who’s who of dance music aristocracy.
Romero is a force to be reckoned with not only as a producer but also as a DJ. Behind the decks his tenacity and ability to work a room was rewarded as he rounded out an intense international touring schedule including his Nothing Toulouse North American headline tour, his residency at The Light Las Vegas, Coachella, Sensation White, and mainstage appearances at Ultra Music Festival, Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas, Tomorrowland, and countless others. One of his stand-out performances of 2013 was at Tomorrowworld where he was the first DJ to play equipped with Google Glass. On top of his own gigs, he produced Protocol Recordings label nights in Miami and Amsterdam that were both a smashing success.
Building upon his accolades, such as his MTV EMA nomination for Best Dutch Act, and prosperity in 2013, Nicky Romero continues to make his indelible mark on the music industry that can be felt in the hearts of his devoted fans. Pushing relentlessly forward with the wind at his back and a new professional studio, he will begin the next era of his career with a debut album coming in 2014. With these plans and much more to come, the Nicky Romero brand is expected to grow and mature, becoming an increasingly influential and venerated force in the international music arena.

Nicky Romero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody likes the sound
But no one ever hears me crying, crying out
I think you're saying what you mean now
I feel it when you take me close
Something's telling me that I should let you know
You make it feel like home
Like home
Like home
Never been so scared of losing
But never understood the calm
So take me where I wanna be, back in your arms
'Cause you make it feel like home
You make it feel like home
Like home
Like home
Only you only you only do this
Only you only you only do this
And it's never the same cause
You make it feel
You make it feel like home
The lyrics in Nicky Romero's song Like Home are about finding a sense of belonging and comfort in a significant other. The opening lines express frustration at the fact that people often talk without truly listening or understanding the singer's emotions. The singer feels unheard and unseen in a world where everyone is consumed with their own opinions and voices. However, when they are with their partner, they feel understood and validated. The lyrics suggest that the partner in question is able to bridge the gap between the singer's internal struggle and their outward persona, making them feel safe and secure.
The chorus repeats the sentiment that the partner makes the author feel at home. The word "home" implies a place of comfort, security, and familiarity. This person makes the singer feel like they are in a place where they belong, even if they haven't found that sense of belonging anywhere else. The lines "Only you only do this / And it's never the same cause / You make it feel" speak to the unique and irreplaceable role this person plays in the singer's life. They are in awe of how only this one individual can make them feel like they are truly home.
Overall, the message of the song is simple but powerful. It is a declaration of love and gratitude for someone who has made the singer feel like they have a sense of place and belonging. The lyrics are both vulnerable and optimistic, expressing the hope that this feeling will last forever.

Love the way they all keep talking
I enjoy the sound of others conversing
Everybody likes the sound
Everyone seems to be fond of the chatter
But no one ever hears me crying, crying out
However, nobody notices my internal struggles, and I feel unheard when I convey them.
I think you're saying what you mean now
I believe you are expressing your authentic self
I feel it when you take me close
I sense a strong connection when you are near
Something's telling me that I should let you know
I have a gut feeling that I should reveal my emotions to you
You make it feel like home
Your presence provides me with comfort and familiarity
Never been so scared of losing
I have not experienced fear of losing someone like this before
But never understood the calm
However, I do not comprehend the serenity I feel when I am with you.
So take me where I wanna be, back in your arms
Thus, please hold me in your arms and transport me to where I desire - with you.
'Cause you make it feel like home
As you continue to provide me with safety and security, it feels like being at home.
Only you only you only do this
It is only you who can invoke this feeling within me
And it's never the same cause
Moreover, the sensation is always unique and cannot be replicated
You make it feel
You make me feel at ease
You make it feel like home
With you, everything feels perfectly comfortable and natural - like home.
