Nico Sallach (born 31 May 1990) is a German singer, songwriter, and musician. He first became known as a founding member and the co-lead vocalist of To the Rats and Wolves, which formed in 2012 and disbanded in 2020. He gained wider prominence in 2020 when he joined Electric Callboy as its "clean" vocalist and lyricist, alongside "unclean" vocalist Kevin Ratajczak.

Early life

Sallach was born in Essen on 31 May 1990.[citation needed] He has two younger brothers. His singing career started when he was in a school band. Before his music career became a full-time commitment, he worked as a fully-trained gerontological nurse who specialised in extra-clinical ventilation with a focus on patients suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and multiple sclerosis (MS).[1]

Career

In 2009, Sallach was the frontman for Through Your Veins. In 2012, he became a founding member and the "clean" vocalist of To the Rats and Wolves alongside "unclean" vocalist Dixi Wu, guitarists Danny Güldener and Marc Dobruk, bassist Stanislaw Czywil, and drummer Simon Yildirim. They released three albums and one EP before disbanding in 2020.[2][3][4]

In 2020, Sallach replaced Sebastian Biesler as the new "clean" vocalist and lyricist for Electric Callboy alongside "unclean" vocalist Kevin Ratajczak, and they released the EP MMXX (2020) with a music video for the song "Hypa Hypa".[5][6] The band's first album with Sallach, Tekkno (2022), spent a week at No. 1 on the German album charts. Since Sallach joined the band, it has increasingly incorporated wider musical influences such as pop and EDM. He writes most of the lyrics together with Ratajczak.[7][8]
