NIKKOLE...she's not your average chick! Truly bridging the gap and taking you back with an old skool soul that is oven-fresh and what's missing in today's music!

Nikkole is an independent musician that has established herself as a true artist within the music world. Among the current crop of rising stars, Nikkole is definitely the one who has a complete package: voice, looks and a strong work ethic, that will catapult her to becoming the next legend! Nikkole is a vibrant and universal Singer / Songwriter / Producer / Performer with a 5-Octave Range whose performance in the studio and on-stage is filled with Emotion and Excitement!!!

In 2001, she released her debut CD entitled ''Appearance'' on SE Entertainment Records, which introduced the world to Nikkole's amazing vocal sound and unique songwriting ability. Her hard work resulted in a Best Pop Album award from Radio Free Virgin and JPF, for which she beat out 7800 other independently released albums. Her winning streak continued with another award from Radio Free Virgin and JPF with ''Over It'' being named one of the top 20 Best Pop Singles out of 25,000 independent successful songs in 2003. Nikkole further proved her success when she became the 1 independent singer in the US with her debut album, ''Appearance'' via mp3.com, which was one of the first major music internet websites.

The success of ''Appearances'' enabled Nikkole to branch out and work with some of the world's top performers such as Babyface, The Emotions, Lakeside, The Commodores, Midnight Star, Norman Brown, Gregory Hines, Whoopi Goldberg, Cedric the Entertainer, and Patrice Rushen. Each collaboration brought new challenges and has helped develop and enhance Nikkole's own unique voice and style. Nikkole has written and crafted new tunes for The Emotions and The Commodores and she has appeared on the soundtracks to the films ''The Brothers'', ''Biker Boyz'' and ''Love and Action in Chicago.'' Nikkole also appears on Norman Brown's 1 Billboard smash ''Stay With Me'' (2007), more specifically the radio-friendly cut ''You Keep Lifting Me Higher,'' which she not only sang, but she wrote and arranged the vocals. In fact, Nikkole spent 8 weeks at 1 on Billboard's Contemporary Jazz Charts with Norman Brown's, ''Stay With Me'' project. The album remained in Billboard's Top 10 for over 4 months!

Nikkole has written and co-produced every single song on all three of her albums. Nikkole is also a voting member of the prestigious National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences ''The Grammys'', which is quite an honor especially for an independent recording artist.

While we are on the subject of the Grammys, Nikkole was up for 3 Noms. in the following categories at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards: Best Urban / Alternative Performance - Breathe, Best R&B Song - Breathe and Best New Artist! Again this year, Nikkole has been selected as a contender for 8 Noms in the following cat. at the 51st Annual...CON'TD at http://www.nikkole.com/bio.asp
