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.

Nico Santos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could sing at the top of my lungs
There's a million melodies I can't forget
But you'll always be my number one
Another day
Another night gone
You know what they say
And every face just fades with the last song
But you'll always be my number one
Two shots to numb the feelings, still I'm under your control now
Tell me that you believe in us, ah-ah
I'm terrified that I'll be singin' all the words alone
'Cause you'll always be my number one
There's a million songs in my head
I could sing at the top of my lungs
There's a million melodies I can't forget
But you'll always be my number one
There's a million songs in my head
I could sing at the top of my lungs
There's a million melodies I can't forget
But you'll always be my number one
There's a million melodies I can't forget
But you'll always be my number one
I'm holdin' on
Until the last note
So you should know
I'll never let go
'Cause you're the one that I can't forget
I try to remember my heart and head
It always leads me back to you
There's a million songs in my head
I could sing at the top of my lungs
There's a million melodies I can't forget
But you'll always be my number one
There's a million songs in my head
I could sing at the top of my lungs
There's a million melodies I can't forget
But you'll always be my number one
There's a million melodies I can't forget
But you'll always be my number one
There's a million songs in my head
I could sing at the top of my lungs
There's a million melodies I can't forget
But you'll always be my number one
In Nico Santos's song "Number 1," the lyrics speak about the enduring love and connection the singer has with someone who will always hold the topmost place in their heart. The mention of a million songs and melodies in the singer's head represents the vast array of experiences and memories they have accumulated over time. However, amidst all these songs and melodies, the person they are singing about will forever be their number one.
The lyrics convey a sense of longing and nostalgia as the singer reminisces about the past. They mention that with each passing day and night, they search for the right person and hope to find someone who can fill the void left by their number one. The reference to taking shots to numb their feelings suggests that the memories of this person still have a strong emotional hold over them.
Despite the possibility of being alone and singing the words to these songs by themselves, they affirm the unwavering connection they have with their number one. The lyrics imply that this person is their anchor, the one they cannot forget, and no matter how many songs they have in their head, their number one will always hold a special place in their heart.

There's a million songs in my head
I have so many songs in my mind
I could sing at the top of my lungs
I could sing them with all my heart and strength
There's a million melodies I can't forget
There are countless tunes that are unforgettable to me
But you'll always be my number one
But you will forever be my top choice
Another day
Another day passes
Another night gone
Another night has come and gone
You know what they say
As they say
You'll find the right one

And every person I meet becomes irrelevant when the music stops
But you'll always be my number one

I try to forget the emotions with two shots, but I am still under your influence
Tell me that you believe in us, ah-ah
Assure me that you have faith in our relationship
I'm terrified that I'll be singin' all the words alone
I'm afraid that I'll be the only one singing these lyrics
'Cause you'll always be my number one
Because you will always be my top priority
I'm holdin' on
I am clinging
Until the last note
Until the final musical tone
So you should know
Therefore, you must be aware
I'll never let go
I will never release my grip
'Cause you're the one that I can't forget
Because you are the one I cannot erase from my memory
I try to remember my heart and head
I attempt to recall what my heart and mind tell me
It always leads me back to you
It consistently directs me back to you

Ich liebe deine Stimme. Für mich bringt sie so unglaubliche Gefühle hervor.
Unglaublich. Das letzte Mal hat das glaube ich F-raz im Jugendalter geschafft. 😅
Danke , dass du ein Sänger geworden bist und wir dor zuhören dürfen.

Bin echt erschrocken davon das Nico doch so wenig Aufmerksamkeit mit seiner Musik erreicht. Für mich absolutes Welt Niveau! ❤
Margit Coels
ist 1 Million wenig Aufmerksamkeit?

Definitiv!
