Dominique Dequan Newton, aka Nico Newton, was born on the West Side of Chicago. Growing up in the West Side of Chicago can take the lives of multiple boys and men daily due to the violence; which is considered the way of life there on its streets. Nico’s mother, Ericka Ivy, was determined to provide safety for her children by keeping them off the streets, and occupying them inside the home by injecting music into the family’s blood. Mentored by his grandmother, a talented vocalist, Nico was performing songs and dances from the Temptations and Five Heartbeats in his aunt's living room at 6 years old. The love of music became the way of life for the entire family, and A. Good was exposed to a wide range of music. He had a personal connection and was moved by the The Fugees, Rakim, Tupac, Jay Z, Nas and The Notorious B.I.G; they are the inspiration for the music he creates today.
