Twenty-four year old singer/songwriter, Nicky was born in England, raised in Jamaica WI and moved to Poughkeepsie, NY to attend Vassar College at 18 years old. She now lives in the Bronx, where she is pursuing her singing career.
Her experience as an entertainer started to grow tremendously in her high school years. She was a dedicated member of her high school choir, singing solos on many occasions. She was also in the dance group and the drama club. Nicky never passed up an opportunity to be on stage, especially when it came to showcasing her singing talents. She has sung in lineups including popular Jamaican artists such as Elephant Man, Red Rat and Junior Tucker.
It was in college that Nicky got the opportunity to be educated in her art, as well as discover her own style. She took two years of music theory and harmony. Nicky also took percussion lessons for four years with a focus on the drum set. She was a member of the Vassar College Women's Chorus for a year, sang background vocals for All Together Worship Band for three years, danced in the Vassar Fly People troupe for a year and was a member of Alive!, Vassar Christian A cappella for four years. Nicky's involvement in these groups gave her experience in performing for large audiences in various types of venues.
Currently, Nicky is focusing on writing and recording new music which blends various genres to produce a soulful new style. She is also helping other musicians by hosting a new online community at rewardtalent.com which helps various types of independent musicians by giving them opportunities, information, a medium through which to meet each other and much more.
