Early Life

Halik was born in Melbourne, Australia. He is the youngest son of poor immigrant Greek parents Konstantinos and Dionisia Halikopoulos from Greece. He was raised in Port Melbourne. Nik suffered with varied medical problems as a young boy and credited his medical recovery to a life screenplay of goals he wrote as an 8 year old. His screenplay listed his top 10 goals he planned to fulfill in his lifetime. He took an interest in music at an early age, inspired by his father who was an accomplished musician. In his teenage years, Nik re-located to Hollywood, California to study music at the Guitar Institute of Technology in Hollywood. He performed live and recorded in various bands throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s until departing the music industry to pursue other business interests and thrill seeking adventures.
