The duo was launched as Envy with its main debut appearance at Emergenza Festival in 2011. They won first place at the Taubertal Open Air Festival World's "Emergenza Final" for new emerging artists. Following that success, the duo released the mixtape Dreamworks: Why Not Me under the name "Envy."
In June 2011 the duo released their debut single "One Song." The song peaked to No. 19 on the Norwegian Singles Chart.
They released their debut studio album The Magic Soup and the Bittersweet Faces on April 27, 2012, peaking to No. 37 on the Norwegian Albums Chart.
In April 2013 they released "Am I Wrong," the song has peaked to No. 2 on the Norwegian Singles Chart, the song has also peaked to No. 2 on the Danish Singles Chart and No. 2 on the Swedish Singles Chart. It was followed up with another release "In Your Arms," which also charted in Norway, Denmark and Sweden.
The music video for "Am I Wrong" was directed and edited by Kavar Singh. The video for "Am I Wrong" was filmed in Botswana and at the Victoria Falls between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It was put together in a deliberate effort to present a positive side of Africa when the image of the continent is too often mired in negative news stories.
The music video was released via YouTube on June 20, 2013, and has been gaining much attention with over 31 million views. The group played many different major Norwegian television-shows and kept saying they would aim even higher and try to break through into American audiences.
In January 2014, the duo changed their name from "Envy" to Nico & Vinz, in coordination with their signing to Warner Bros. Records in the United States to avoid being confused with other artists with a similar name.
In early 2014, Nico & Vinz received the European Border Breakers Award (EBBA) at Eurosonic Festival, performed at the Spellemann Awards, completed a Scandinavian tour and launched “Am I Wrong” worldwide.
When “Am I Wrong” made its American radio debut in April 2014, it was the No. 1 most added record at the Top 40/mainstream format with 90 adds, a rarity in first-week airplay for a new artist. As one of the most "Shazamed" songs worldwide, “Am I Wrong” sits at No. 1 on Shazam’s Top 100 Worldwide and has peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.
