Nico & Vinz
Nico & Vinz are an African-Norwegian group singing and songwriting duo composed of Kahouly Nicolay "Nico" Sereba from Holmlia, Oslo and Vincent "Vinz" Dery from Lambertseter, Oslo. They formed in 2009 as Envy and are based in Oslo. They changed their name to Nico & Vinz in January 2014 after the international success of "Am I Wrong".
Music career
2010–11: Formation and debut mixtape
Nico Sereba of Norwegian-Ivorian origin and Vincent Dery of Norwegian-Nigerian origin created their music as a fusion of genres as diverse as pop to reggae to soul, having been exposed by the various musical influences of their parents with whom they did recurring trips to the West Coast of Africa. The duo was launched as Envy with its main debut appearance at Emergenza Festival in 2011. They won first place at the Taubertal Open Air Festival World's "Emergenza Final" for new emerging artists. Following that success, the duo released the mixtape Dreamworks: Why Not Me under the name Envy. The materials were also made available online through WiMP.
Nico
Nico (born Christa Päffgen; 16 October 1938 – 18 July 1988) was a German singer-songwriter, lyricist, composer, musician, fashion model, and actress who became famous as a Warhol superstar in the 1960s. She is known for her vocals on The Velvet Underground's debut album, The Velvet Underground & Nico (1967), and her work as a solo artist. She also had roles in several films, including Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita (1960) and Andy Warhol's Chelsea Girls (1966).
Early life
Nico was born Christa Päffgen in Cologne. When she was two years old, she moved with her mother and grandfather to the Spreewald forest outside of Berlin to escape the bombardments of Cologne. Her father Hermann, born into a dynasty of Colognian master brewers, was enlisted as a soldier during World War II and sustained head injuries that caused severe brain damage and ended his life in a psychiatric institution; according to an unproven rumor, he was variously said to have died in a concentration camp, or to have faded away as a result of shell shock.
Nico (Romanian singer)
Nicoleta Matei, known by her stage name Nico (born on 1 February 1970), is a Romanian singer, TV personality and spokesperson for Catena in Romania. In her country, she is known for having collaborated with several Romanian hip hop artists, such as Morometzii (in 1999), B.U.G. Mafia (in 2000, 2002), Cabron (in 2003, 2007, 2010), Puya, Blat Jargon, and Codu Penal. She is considered one of the best Romanian voices ever. She represented Romania along with Vlad in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 with the song "Pe-o margine de lume".

Since 1996 she is the main voice of the Toma Caragiu Theater in Ploiești, winning for 4 years in a row the award for the Best Female Vocal Performer on The National Festival of Variety Shows in Theatres in Romania. In 1998 she made her first TV appearance, together with Horia Brenciu on a show called Sarabanda, where she used to cover many of Romanian and international hits.

by: Nico & Vinz[Intro:]
Hmmm-mah-mah-imagine
Hmmm-mah-mah-imagine (hooooah)
Hmmm-mah-mah-imagine
Hmmm-mah-mah-imagine (hooooah)
[Verse:]
I see yo tears in the night, lay it all on me
Ya built a wall inside, just let it fall from me
I feel yo pain and lonely, don't be afraid to show me
Let it rain upon me, I'll be here fo' ya
[Verse 2:]
I met an ol' man once and he said to me
The only thing that matters is what ya believe
If you don't stand for somethin' you'll fall fo' anythin'
In case you're wonderin' I'll be here fo' ya
[Chorus:]
Hmmm-mah-mah-imagine, aye-ya-ye-imagine
Ooh oh, imagine
Could ya eva imagine?
What you've done, now you're here
And ya fought through all of yo fins
Say yeah imagine
Could ya eva imagine?
[Verse 3:]
Every melody can turn into a symphony instantly
I know that ya were meant for me
Even tho it was so hard to see
I knew that we could be, ya did the same fo' me
Now I'll be here for ya
[Chorus:]
Hmmm-mah-mah-imagine, aye-ya-ye-imagine
Ooh oh, imagine
Could ya eva imagine?
What you've done, now you're here
And ya fought through all of yo fins
Say yeah imagine
Could ya eva imagine?
[Verse 4:]
I'm just a humble, lil sail with 2 much to prove
But my boat's so small and the ocean soo huge
And I don't wanna go half on a dream
So I need ya to be a part of my team
I could neva pretend or act like it's just me
Without ya where would I be? Imagine
[Chorus:]
Hmmm-mah-mah-imagine, aye-ya-ye-imagine
Ooh oh, imagine
Could ya eva imagine?
What you've done, now you're here
And ya fought through all of yo fins
Say yeah imagine
Could ya eva imagine?
