Venture 5 is the creative project of DJ/producer Niko Pappas.
 
Born and raised in Denver, Pappas was exposed at a young age to the various music styles and inspirations found in Colorado’s thriving music community. He began playing guitar and writing acoustic music before his teenage years and was later on exposed to influential acts like Nero, Caspa, Zeds Dead, Pretty Lights and The Glitch Mob. These dynamic producers opened him up to the imagination and ingenuity found in electronic music.
