Nicholas Cheong, know as @nickcheo, was born on January 19, 2003, to Malaysian immigrants Kim and TJ Cheong. Raised in Ohio, Cheo originally studied computer engineering before turning his attention to DJing.

His breakout came with Nights x SkeeYee (2024), an unlikely pairing of Frank Ocean and Sexyy Red that introduced audiences to Cheo’s particular style of mixing songs that, on paper, have no business being together.

In his free time, Cheo enjoys throwing fits for parks, eating Bún bò Huế with his parents, and is often in deep thought about where his path will take him next.
