Nicolay has started his own record label on which he plans to release several new projects. The new label, a partnership with Premium Blend Music Productions, will bear the same name as his production company, Nicolay Music.

Nicolay says, “Starting the label definitely is a dream come true for me! I believe that the future of music as a business lies in establishing and maintaining a direct artist-fan relationship.
