Nicholas Scott Ure (born June 4, 1999), known professionally as Nicky Youre, is an American singer-songwriter. He is best known for his 2021 single "Sunroof". [1]
Ure played water polo at Aliso Niguel High School, [2] where he participated in the 2016 CIF Southern Section Division 3 Championship Game.

Ure started making music in 2017 [5] and released his debut single "Sex and Lemonade" on June 4, 2020. [1] "Sex and Lemonade" featured the producer Laiki, an artist who had previously issued the EP Together/Separate, featuring a number of collaborations with Ure. [6]
His second single, "Sunroof", released in December 2021, was described by Sheesh Media as "an immediate ear-worm pop track". [1] This track featured the Los Angeles-based musician and producer Dazy (an artist formerly known as Snocker) and reached the Top 30 in Australia and the top five of the Billboard Hot 100. [7] [8]
In March 2022, the 22-year-old singer released "Never Go Wrong", [9] [10] a single with fellow Californian David Hugo. [11] [12]
