Niko Antonucci was born in Prague, Czech Republic in 1991 to a middle class family. Since early age, she showed interest in music, particularly piano, which she started to play with at the age of 3 and which quickly became her favorite toy. Her father playing guitar and upright bass in local country band and her music loving mother supported her passion and signed her up for piano classes at the age of 9. Niko had decent pitch recognition and loved playing piano, but completely refused to follow her teacher's lead and suggestions, only wanting to play her own songs. After two semesters the teacher suggested that she will not be teaching Niko any longer. Despite not finishing her piano lessons, these early classes built her foundation of musical understanding and theory which she utilized till the age of 28. She always preferred writing more sentimental, darker music, as she was always able to emotionally relate. By the age of 13, Niko started to play guitar and connecting with punk rock as well as classic rock'n'roll. She started singing and writing her own songs, which were all very melancholic due to her parent's divorce and poor mental state. At the age of 15, her mother and sister were able to save enough money for her to record her 1st demo " By The Desk," which caught attention of multiple producers and talent seekers in Czech Republic and Europe. She recorded her 1st album in Germany under the alias "The Libido." The second album she recorded in Prague, but the album has never been officially released. In between she played with multiple bands along with solo acoustic singer songwriter sets, but due to her lack of confidence paired with a healthy bit of stage fright, she rarely felt satisfied in her endeavors. After being pulled in multiple directions by fellow musicians involved, she set out looking for her own self-produced sound. At the age of 21 she decided to experiment with electronic music and started producing her own songs. After moving to Los Angeles, she created a new alias titled "Resin" combining dark beats with cinematic soundscapes and grungy vocals. With Resin, she released two self-produced EPs and one collaborative album with a project called "Orphantales." Still battling her stage fright, she received an offer to compose music to a sci-fi script titled "Right Forward Turret." While working on the score, she realized that music composition and film scoring were her true calling. Feeling most confident utilizing her talent with not just orchestral music but music across all the genres. At this time, she is based in New York City and has a history of composing multiple scores to short films, commercials and feature length films as well as personal compositions. ABOUT MY STUDIO I predominantly use two DAWS (musical software) - Logic Pro X and Ableton Live 9 and I work strictly on Mac.

Lastly, I have tons of plugins such as Wave or Izotope, that are essential for mixing and mastering music.
