So, What's My Story?
Met with tears, laughter, and standing ovations, NIKA KXXSH [nee-kah koosh], is a rising inspirational keynote speaker and workshop leader who empowers, entertains, and educates through raw storytelling, soulful original songs, and impactful group exercises.

Having survived severe childhood abuse, addiction, homelessness, and profound mental health struggles, NIKA knows adversity firsthand. On the verge of ending his own life — he found the courage to seek help and begin healing. Since 2017, he has pursued his recovery with unwavering dedication while spreading a message of HOPE, TRUST, and LOVE.

NIKA’s eccentric style, relevant content, and dynamic energy captivate without fail — but it might be his sincere nature and deliberate vulnerability that have won the hearts of countless audience members, participants, and organizers over the years : )
“When those kids huddled around me after the event, with bright watery eyes, coming up for hugs and asking to learn more… I knew something big was happening, the message was getting across.”

So, what’s a “Keynote Concert”!?
Educational science shows that learning is greatly enhanced by emotionally driven storylines…no surprise! When a presentation is engaging, it’s memorable — add relatability and it can be
Life changing.

How does music fit in? It helps us
to FEEL the lesson and stay present.

Edutainment may sound playful,
but it’s a practical way to make knowledge and wisdom more accessible for students.
Care to take the message deeper?

A strong keynote presentation sparks interest, stirs emotions, and even shifts perspectives — but how can we turn that inspiration into action?
————> We pair it with a WORKSHOP!

At the heart of my personal development journey, and the work that I bring to others, are simple principles and practices that have transformed my life…

In one of my workshops students, faculty, staff AND guardians can have the chance to:

  • Embody proven self-regulation techniques
  • Experience self-compassion in a supportive setting
  • Expand their comfort-zones through guided exercises
  • Express and relate their reflections in a safe group environment
  • Establish an improved outlook on themselves, their lives, and their peers



When we nurture compassion in a group of students, the impact ripples out into families, workplaces, the environment, and the culture that we’re all part of.
I would love to connect and learn how I can best serve your school community.

Together, WE can create a positive movement : )

Warmest Regards,
