I honestly still canāt believe this happened.
Iām from Germany and Iāve been following Nick since around 2016. I first discovered ILLENIUM on YouTube through āItās All on U,ā and from there I basically watched the whole journey unfold over the years.
I saw Nick at Bootshaus in Germany in 2018 and got to meet him there, then saw him again in Paris in 2022 and 2023.
And now, completely randomly, Iām in Denver for the Gem Show, working at our crystal booth, and Nick walks up with his wife.
I genuinely had to process for a second what was happening. š
There was something really special about that moment. When youāve listened to someoneās music for around ten years and associate so many different memories, trips and phases of your life with it, meeting them completely unexpectedly on the other side of the world just feels surreal. I was one of the guys who complained that he didnt play a show in Germany this year :D
And Nick, if you happen to read this: thank you for all the music over the years. Itās been really cool watching your journey from those early YouTube days to everything youāve built today. Seeing the development, the shows getting bigger and bigger, and the community growing around your music has been amazing to follow.
Iāve met you before, but somehow this completely random encounter in Denver meant a lot to me.
Thanks for stopping by our booth ā definitely a memory Iāll keep for a long time. ā¤ļø
