Mini bio
How it started.
Niko grew up in Stafford and created his YouTube account in 2011. He began uploading in 2014, making comedy sketches, parodies and challenges.
Finding his audience.
His 2018 video UNDERCOVER As A RACIST For 24 HOURS became a breakout, taking him into an English Defence League protest in Telford. In 2019, he formed Beta Squad with Chunkz, AJ Shabeel, Sharky and King Kenny.
Making the campaign part of the comedy.
Niko stood as an independent in the 2021 London mayoral election, then made How I Won The London Mayor Election about the experience. He later turned his UK general election campaign into another documentary. Despite their titles, neither campaign resulted in an election win.
Beyond the prank.
In 2025, he launched Shades by Niko sweets and appeared as a contestant on The Celebrity Traitors. His travel series then set a seven-continent challenge, with charities linked throughout the uploads. In March 2026, he won the MOBO Award for Best Media Personality.
