Nico DiMarco

Nico DiMarco is a deaf DJ. He is also identified as the fraternal twin brother of America’s Next Top Model winner Nyle DiMarco.

Early life and education DiMarco was born into a family familiar with deafness, as he is a fourth-generation Deaf individual and one of 25 Deaf individuals in his family. He is of English, Scottish, Italian and German descent. During his youth his mother moved the family around frequently as she wanted to locate the best deaf education for her children. The family moved first to Texas and later to Frederick, Maryland. After settling in, both Nico and his sibling Nyle attended the Maryland School for the Deaf, before going on to attend Gallaudet University in Washington D.C., where he graduated in 2012.

Nico has remained in D.C. throughout his life to date. He currently both resides and works in the city. His family was at first skeptical about his interest but eventually DiMarco's parents purchased some speakers in order to help him feel the music's beat and make music more accessible to him at home.
