P A G E 4 4
While only in his late 20’s, Nikom has worked his way up the music industry to become
the assistant general manager at one of the largest record labels in the world. From a
young age, he knew what he wanted to do for a career, and propelled himself to a
position he aspired to through passion, persistence, and extensive music knowledge.
Nik’s story is an honest depiction of how difficult being Asian American in the industry
can be, while also encouraging people to pursue their passions— and that there are
experts like him that are excited to bring young people into the fold.

“I think it’s hard to dive head first into being an artist if you
can’t picture yourself as that. It’s hard to picture yourself in
those roles when you haven’t seen yourself represented as
somebody who could be a success."
