About Nico
My name is Nico Avella, and I’m a sound-healing practitioner based in Miami, Fl. Ever since I was little, I was always questioning and inquiring about the nature of the universe. After struggling for many years with depression, anxiety, and nihilism, I found my way to music and songwriting as a method to heal myself and work through my insecurities. Simultaneously, I began learning about meditation and eastern philosophy - It opened me up to a world of divine beauty, and my entire perspective on life changed. I realized that peace and happiness were real possibilities.
While attending Berklee College of Music, I met world-renowned bassist, Victor Wooten, and through the teachings in his book “The Music Lesson,” I learned about the spirituality of music. This led me to further explore the symbiotic relationship between spirituality and music. I began to read and study voraciously on this connection between sound, the cosmos, and the human psyche. I meditated diligently, and practiced various yogic exercises daily.
From there I went on to study music production and sound engineering at Abbey Road Institute, so I could create meditative recordings and share them across the globe. My friends and family would come to me and ask for sound-healing sessions to help them quell their anxieties. Seeing them leave sessions in a deep state of calm, and a newfound sense of purpose made me realize my mission - to heal the world with sound.
All that I learned from philosophy, science, psychology, and meditation, was pointing me to the same truth - everything is made up of one fundamental essence. This primordial essence is in constant vibration and when we interact with vibration, sound emerges. I naturally concluded that I could use music and sound not only to heal myself, but also to heal those around me, and the planet.
What a way to get into the sound healing world!!! Nico, thank you for caring about healing my soul and heart. We picked the perfect location under a gorgeous tree in one of the parks in Coconut Grove. I was a bit nervous yet excited about this journey I was about to start. However, your beautiful setup, your words, the tone of your voice, aromas, and your peaceful energy took me to a comfortable place that opened my mind and heart easily to the sounds you were perfectly playing for me. I explored different emotions, visited wonderful places, and found messages that are precious to my life.
