Nikolai Amann began violin lessons at the age of five. After his early studies with Rudolf Rampf at the Trossingen University of Music, he continued studying with Ovidiu Abramovici in Stuttgart. He completed his bachelor's and master's degrees with Laurent Albrecht Breuninger at the Karlsruhe University of Music. He also received further inspiration from Ana Chumachenco, Ingolf Turban, Sigiswald Kuijken, Roland Glassl, Sebastian Hamann, and Jörg Hofmann.

Nikolai Amann was a member of the Baden-Württemberg Youth Orchestra, the Young German Philharmonic, as well as concertmaster of the second violins and deputy concertmaster in the orchestra of the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival. From 2017 to 2019, he was an academy member of the Hessischer Rundfunk Symphony Orchestra, with which he also performed as a soloist in the summer of 2018 under chief conductor Andrés Orozco-Estrada.

As a guest, the violinist played with the WDR Symphony Orchestra Cologne, the NDR Radiophilharmonie Hanover, the Stuttgart State Orchestra, and the Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz before becoming a member of the first violins of the Gürzenich Orchestra in 2019. Concert tours have taken Nikolai Amann through Europe, South and North America, Asia, and to concert halls such as the Suntory Hall Tokyo, the Berlin Philharmonie, the Musikverein Vienna, and the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg.
