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.

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.
Oh Hello
Nico Santos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
God, I missed that face for a couple of years
Last time it was covered in tears
Said, "I'm so sorry," but then you disappeared
I don't need a reason why
Everybody leaves sometimes
We come, we go
Doesn't have to be goodbye
Maybe we just need time
So if you change your mind
Change your mind, I say
"Oh, hello!
Haven't seen you for a long time
How you been, how you been, how you been? Say
How you been, how you been, how you been? Say"
I say, "Oh, hello!
Haven't seen you for a long time
How you been, how you been, how you been? Say
How you been, how you been, how you been? Say"
Now we're drinking in the back of this place
It still looks the same though the music has changed
But, baby, look at you now
Pretty sure I know it's gonna hurt the same to watch you walk out
I don't need a reason why
Everybody leave sometimes
We come, we go
Until we finally know
Doesn't have to be goodbye
Maybe we just need time
So if you change your mind
Change your mind, I say
"Oh, hello!
Haven't seen you for a long time
How you been, how you been, how you been? Say
How you been, how you been, how you been? Say"
I say, "Oh, hello!
Haven't seen you for a long time
How you been, how you been, how you been? Say
How you been, how you been, how you been? Say"
Hello, hello, hello
I know it's been a long time, my friend
I swear it's good to see you again
Hello, hello, hello
Yeah, I know it's been a long time, my friend
Oh, I swear it's good to see you again
So if you find your heart to say
That it wants to try again
If you think we still got that flame
Then next time you see me, just say
"Oh, hello!
Haven't seen you for a long time
How you been, how you been, how you been? Say
How you been, how you been, how you been? Say"
I say, "Oh, hello!
Haven't seen you for a long time
How you been, how you been, how you been? Say

I know it's been a long time, my friend
I swear it's good to see you again
Hello, hello, hello
Yeah, I know it's been a long time, my friend
Oh, I swear it's good to see you again
Hello, hello, hello
The lyrics of Nico Santos's song Oh Hello speaks to the fleeting nature of relationships and the inevitability of people coming and going from our lives. The song opens with the lines "what hell are you doin' here?/God, I missed that face for a couple of years" which shows how the singer is surprised to see someone that they haven't seen for a while. The next lines mention how the last time they saw this person, they were crying and then disappeared, creating a sense of unresolved tension. However, as the song progresses, the singer seems to come to terms with the transitory nature of relationships, realizing that it doesn't have to always end in goodbyes. The chorus of the song expresses a sense of excitement at reconnecting with someone after some time and how catching up could rekindle old feelings. The upbeat melody of the song, paired with the lyrics, produces a sense of hopefulness, even in the face of past pain.
