A classically trained pianist from Belgrade, Nikodia has worked in recording studios since she was 15. She toured the Balkans with her own band and played Exit festival before moving to Dubai, where she spent ten years as a performer, DJ, host and curator then became a Music Director at AweStruckPro Creative Agency in 2023. She studied film and TV scoring and music therapy at Berklee Online, and is driven by one mission: bringing more original music to the UAE.

Classical piano. Ten years of rock. A decade behind the decks. Film and TV scoring at Berklee. Nikodia has worked across almost every corner of music, and that range is exactly what agencies hire her for.
Need the soul of a traditional melody with the punch of a festival drop? Oud and qanun next to sub bass, orchestral strings meeting breakbeat, Arabic heritage told in a modern voice: this is where she does her best work. Nikodia doesn’t choose between old and new. She makes them work together.
Her studies in music and neuroscience shape every decision: how a melody holds attention, when a drop lands, what makes a room feel something at the exact moment the visuals hit. That’s how music stops being background and becomes the moment people remember.
She knows how live events really run. Briefs change, storyboards get re-cut, narration lands late, and the deadline doesn’t move. Nikodia has stepped into projects at the last minute and turned them around, working directly with directors, sound engineers and agency teams until it works.
Brand launch, dome show, film opening or fashion night: bring the brief. Nothing is impossible.
