CiCero has heart and soul to spare. The melding of Niko Davis' impeccable writing and transcendent vocals with Anthony Falcone's masterful musical production and mix has created a fresh sound the likes of which the world hasn't heard till now. This eclectic cocktail is a genre all its own. No auto tune here. The boys really sing and play. The vocal acrobatics of Prince and George Michael meet driving guitar riffs and electro funk beats that will have you dancing till you drop and singing their tunes for years to come.
Niko and Anthony met by accident and have been collaborating ever since.
Anthony Falcone, a student of the music game for over 17 years, is fast on his way to becoming one of its driving forces. Not unlike the legendary Prince and other musical giants before him, Falcone possesses an abundance of natural talent and creativity having excelled at everything from the drums, guitar, bass guitar, keyboard(s), clarinet, and almost anything else you put in front him.
Currently, Anthony is opening a commercial recording studio in Burbank, CA with his business partner, legendary rap producer and mixer, Dave Aron. CiCero will call the 3 room facility home for all their productions. In January of 2009, Falcone produced a series of nationally aired TV commercials for Education Connection. The commercials are currently still in rotation, and combined for over 700,000 plays on YouTube!
In 2008, he teamed up with Dave Aron on several projects “including editing and mixing Snoop Dogg’s Live Sets @ Yahoo and his VH1 Storytellers performance.” Falcone launched his Unofficial Official Remix series which spawned remixed tracks featuring such prevalent artists as Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Kevin Rudolf, Ne-yo, and Leona Lewis, pulling nearly 300,000 YouTube hits.
The Legendary, Lionel Richie, once said to the young Dominique "Niko" Davis, “Every twenty years a talent comes along that blows the world away. Twenty years ago, it was Michael Jackson. Now, it’s you.” By the age of eleven (‘99), “Niko” was exhibiting his phenomenal vocals with a cover of Michael Jackson’s ‘I Wanna Be Where You Are’ for Max Gousse, and an audience of office employees at Epic Records. At the time, his age prevented a record deal from ever materializing.
In 2002, "Niko" wrote and sang the title track for the Motion Picture “M.A.S.T.E.R. of Disguise.” He developed his skills as a live performer while a member of the R&B group “4 of a Kind.” The group held the stage alongside the likes of Snoop Dogg, Pit Bull, Colby O’Donis, Akon, Baby Bash, Lil’ Rob, Roscoe Umali and Playaz Circle. He eventually left the group due to conflicts in creative direction.
Now 22 years of age, Dominique attributes his fortitude and undying love for music to his rich but challenging childhood. All has led to CiCero's burgeoning musical style, which can be described as a mix of classic influences, like funk, rock, and soul, with electronic pop. Niko's great influences include artists such as Prince, Madonna, Cameo, Morris Day and The Time, Stevie Wonder and Al Green. "We are trying to tie in real lyrics and elements of live instrumentation with electronic sounds to bring the world something real. The music speaks for itself. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do."
