Nick Hakim

Nick Hakim sits somewhere between an analytical philosopher, mystic poet, and abstract painter. To hear him speak of music is to encounter someone who fully understands its power, who has been moved by its magic and seen its miracles. He’s devoted to music as both an ancient art-form and eternal medicine. To hear him play music is to feel these truisms in live time. It’s a spirit that the New York-based songwriter has carried in his music—both as composer and collaborator. Since 2013, he has demonstrated that his talent can’t be contained within the restrictions of categorization. Hakim’s critically-acclaimed debut album, Green Twins, solidified his status as a versatile artist pushing the boundaries of genre and embracing fluidity between R&B, soul, indie, psychedelia and more. From there, he’s proceeded to link up with the likes of Erykah Badu, Anderson .Paak, BADBADNOTGOOD, Mac DeMarco, Onyx Collective and many others. Nick Hakim’s fourth studio album, "I Can See" (July 2024); is an assured, patient unfolding that floats through profound layers of romance and the deep pull of familial connections across generations. I Can See reflects a world where memory and the present are inseparable. The defining body of work presents a refined and more confident version of the singer-songwriter, more intimately attuned to his vision than ever before.
