NIKI NICOLE
23 year-old Niki Nicole’s musical
journey began
at the tender age of 3 while performing at her pre-school graduation
ceremony. Although that seems like a lifetime ago, she vividly
remembers the joy and excitement she experienced in that one moment on
stage which became an early catalyst for her singing career. Niki began singing extensively in her church, at school and under the guidance of her family of great singers themselves; she even began entering competitions pushing against the door of opportunity where she would either win or be the runner-up. Niki Nicole’s love for performing has
been inspired by legendary R&B/Soul artists like Whitney Houston,
Aretha Franklin & Patti Labelle and it’s
no surprise that in her teen years, she became well-known for her
soulful renditions of many R&B ballads. Today, Niki is working on her music
which is influenced by some of the industry’s biggest stars such as
Beyonce, Alicia Keys and Rihanna. She has also become an often
requested lead and background vocalist and has worked with many of
Barbados’ leading performers including: recently signed Motown artiste
Hal Linton, Virgin’s J-Co and Beluga’s Livvi Franc. In 2007, Niki Nicole shared the stage
with the Queen of Soul herself, Patti Labelle at The Barbados Hilton.
Labelle was so blown away by her performance that just before leaving
the stage she said “You got it, don’t you ever give up!” |
