Niko Paterakis is a Greek composer, producer and performer.

As a multi-instrumentalist, he began composing music for performing arts while living and studying in the UK in the late 2000s. During this time, he performed original material in the world-renowned SWSX Festival (Austin, TX – 2010) and premiered his first musical theater production, ANO THROSKO: Musical for the 21st Century (sponsored by ARTS COUNCIL ENGLAND).

Later on, Niko was awarded a scholarship to study for a Master’s Degree in Film Scoring at Berklee College of Music (Berklee Valencia – 2013-14).

After graduating, he moved to New York to work with ROLI, a thriving music tech start-up that brought to market innovations such as the Seaboard.

In 2018, Niko founded and directed KÍKLOS FESTIVAL NYC under the auspices of the Consulate General of Greece in New York to showcase Greek traditional music to international audiences. After 2 successful years of planning and executing events, he was invited to manage a North American tour for major Greek artist George Dalaras.

Niko is currently based between NYC and his hometown Athens, GR, working with up-and-coming sound design software company Krotos, as well as on his latest solo project, OLAouto.
