Over the years, he gained increasing familiarity as a sound engineer.
He is one of the very few Italian artists known internationally both as a musician and as a producer and arranger, widely recognized and appreciated in various musical genres, from pop to rock, jazz to metal. Beginning in 1998 with the album "Leggera," his prestigious collaboration with Mina has now spanned a decade. A special mention goes to the record-breaking album "MinaCelentano" from 1998, where Nicolò's innovative sound as a pianist and arranger significantly contributed to the album's success. Besides their artistic collaboration, Nicolò and Mina share a sincere bond of friendship and mutual respect. Noteworthy is also the album "Bula Bula" (2005), where Nicolò is the author and composer of the songs "Vai e vai e vai" and "Dove sarai."
Since 2001, Nicolò Fragile has been the guest keyboardist for "Gotthard," the quintessential Swiss rock band.

Since 2004, Nicolò Fragile has been the producer for Mario Lavezzi, arranging and producing albums such as "Passionalità" in 2004 and "A piu’ voci" in 2009. In 2007, Mara Maionchi invited him to collaborate as the Vocal Coach for the 16-24 category in the first edition of the television format X Factor. In this role, he discovered and selected talents with Mara, including Silvia Aprile (later produced by Pino Daniele) and Tony Maiello (winner of the 2010 Sanremo Festival in the Nuova Generazione category). Nicolò is still involved in the realization of various record projects for the program, including creating arrangements for the compilation "X Factor Christmas Album."
In 2008, Nicolò collaborated with Jacob Samuel, the singer of the Poodles (a Swedish heavy metal band formed in 2006), in composing songs for their new album expected the following spring.
