About
Christa Päffgen, known professionally as Nico, was a German singer, songwriter, actress, and model who became a central figure in the 1960s avant-garde scene. She is best known for her collaboration with The Velvet Underground on their debut album and her subsequent solo career, which moved away from pop toward a dark, experimental sound. Her work, particularly albums like 'The Marble Index' and 'Desertshore', utilized the harmonium and her distinctively deep vocals, significantly influencing the development of gothic rock and post-punk.
