Get to know Nicole
Born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, Nicole began singing at the tender age of three. "My mom took me to see NSYNC. I know this sounds crazy because I was only 3, but the minute I stepped into the stadium, I knew where I belonged". That was the beginning of Nicole's musical journey.
Realizing the passion Nicole had for music, her parents set out to find a vocal coach. “I was young so it was hard to find a coach that would take me seriously and help me get to the next level. But my parents kept searching for the perfect coach".
In 2003, Nicole attended an Aaron Carter concert. That was where she met a man in the elevator carrying an Aaron Carter tour bag. "I asked him if he knew Aaron and he said he was Aaron’s
vocal coach. I was so excited I screamed
and asked him if he would coach me. He laughed and asked me to sing for him. So
I did. When he got out of the elevator, he
told me I had that spark and gave my
mom his number”
Within a month, at the age of nine, Nicole was traveling weekly to San Francisco to work with Raz Kennedy. “The first day I worked with him he asked me why I wanted to sing. I told him I wanted to make a difference and to make people happy. No one listens to a little girl, but everyone listens to a song”.
And listen is what they did. By age 14, Nicole was singing with various bands around the Las Vegas valley and spending weekends in LA recording, writing, and working with various artist development coaches. Spending weekends in LA might make it tough for someone so young to lead a normal life or deal with the disappointments of trying to make it in the music industry. “I’ve definitely had my share of setbacks. I think that will happen with anything you choose to do in life. But I believe in myself and I am blessed to have people who also believe in me. That keeps me going”.
By age 17, Nicole was lead female vocals in an established band. When Nicole turned 21, she started her own band which lead to a residency on the Las Vegas strip. Nicole also thrilled crowds at venues such as Gilley's, Stoney's, M Resorts, Blue Martini and more.
When Nicole isn't working on her music, you can find her serving her community. Nicole has been a volunteer for the Children’s Cancer Foundation, Sunrise Hospital Pediatric floor, Goodwill, Shine Foundation, and serves as a mentor for youth offenders with addiction. Nicole graduated from the Clark County Death Investigation Academy and has a college degree in Criminal Justice.
In 2019, Nicole relocated to Nashville,
Tennesse where she continues to light up
the stage. You can find her performing at Tootsies, Rippy's, Honkytonk Central, Kid Rocks Honky Tonk, Bailey's Sportsbar, The Stage, Second Fiddle, Redneck Rivera, and The Score Board.
