Nico Alzetta was born in Belgium from an Italian father and a Belgian mother. He started playing guitar at the age of 11. When he was 16, he was selected among hundreds of guitarists in a nationwide audition to join LITE, led by famed guitarist/composer John King. They toured through Europe between 1998 and 2001, performing at several major summer festivals and getting substantial radio airplay. During this time Nico also performed with various successful Belgian bands such as “The Lodge”, “Pristine Mannequin”, “Komo Sila” and “Solstice 9”. In 2003, he left Brussels for Boston and attended Berklee College of Music.

In the fall of 2006, the “Nico Alzetta Group” released its self-titled debut, earning raving reviews on both sides of the Atlantic. In the summer of 2007, Nico relocated to New York City to continue his career as a performer and composer.
