Nicholas Scott Ure (born June 4, 1999), known professionally as Nicky Youre, is an American singer-songwriter. He is best known for his 2021 single "Sunroof".
Ure played water polo at Aliso Niguel High School,[1] where he participated in the 2016 CIF Southern Section Division 3 Championship Game.[2] After graduating from high school, he continued his water polo career at Golden West College.[3] After earning his associate degree in business and public administration from Golden West, he went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in international business from the University of California, San Diego.
Ure started making music in 2017[4] and released his debut single "Sex and Lemonade" on June 4, 2020. "Sex and Lemonade" featured the producer Laiki, an artist who had previously issued the EP Together/Separate, featuring a number of collaborations with Ure.[5]
His second single, "Sunroof", released in December 2021, was described by Sheesh Media as "an immediate ear-worm pop track".[6] This track featured the Los Angeles-based musician and producer Dazy (an artist formerly known as Snocker) and reached the Top 30 in Australia and the top five of the Billboard Hot 100.[7] [8]
In March 2022, the 22-year-old singer released "Never Go Wrong",[9] [10] a single with fellow Californian David Hugo.[11] [12]
Later in November 2022, Ure released "Eyes on You".
In February 2023 he released a new song called "Shut Me Up".
