Nurko

New York-based Jack Leech, known as Nurko, was born to be an artist. Coming from a family of musicians, he picked up drums and piano early on, blending classical knowledge with a passion for electronic music subgenres. 

Nurko burst onto the scene with his distinctive melodic bass and airy lead. Early singles like “Goodbye” and “Your Embrace” gained attention from YouTube curators such as Chill Nation and MrSuicideSheep in 2015. He amassed millions of streams with hits like “Let Me Go” and “Sunsets” before his high-profile remix of Halsey’s “Without Me” earned over 50 million streams on YouTube in 2018. In 2019, Nurko partnered with Proximity on “Breathe Without”.

Since then, Nurko has collaborated with and remixed top artists like Gryffin, Seven Lions, Said The Sky, JVKE, Adventure Club, and Dabin. His collaboration with ILLENIUM and Valerie Broussard, “Sideways”, debuted in Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic chart top 10 and has over 40 million streams.

In 2022, Nurko's debut EP Arrival received critical acclaim. The five-track EP showcases his festival-ready sound and highlights the complexity and consistency of his music. Arrival led to his first headlining tour with 16 stops including New York’s Webster Hall and Los Angeles’ Hollywood Palladium. Previously, he toured with ILLENIUM, Adventure Club, Dabin, and Virtual Riot, and played at major festivals like Beyond Wonderland, Escape Halloween, Lost Lands, Bass Canyon, and Countdown NYE.

In 2022, Nurko signed with electronic record label Astralwerks, joining artists like Alesso, Alison Wonderland, and Chris Lake. His debut on the label, “Eternity” with Dayce Williams, marked a new chapter. He followed with collaborations with James Gillespie, NERIAH, and Cruel Youth, and released the hit "Save Me" featuring Kyle Hume. His sophomore EP, "Discovery," has over 30 million plays worldwide. 

NURKO closed out 2024 with his EP "UNITED," featuring massive singles with Haliene, Jordan Shaw, and Ryland James. This landmark project showcased NURKO's melodic sound and emotional depth, solidifying his prominence in electronic music.

NURKO's debut album is expected to be released in late 2025 or early 2026.
