Nikki Hong is a pop/rock singer/songwriter from Los Angeles, CA. Nikki was born in South Korea but has lived all over the U.S. before settling in L.A. to attend the University of Southern California. Although the 23 year-old was heavily influenced by music throughout her life, her ambition to become a musician was kept very much a secret. Knowing she would gain little support from friends and family, she often wrote songs late at night or in her privacy. In college, after a reluctant performance in front of a songwriting class, she discovered the excitement of sharing her music.
Nikkis first instrument was the piano, which she studied for six years before she picked up the violin. She then went on to teach herself to play the guitar after watching a Guns N Roses music video in the early 90s. Frustrated over having to relocate every so often, she started writing songs when she was 12. Her music became a personal emotional vent and dealt with everything from relationship issues to the struggles of everyday life. Some of her influences include Sheryl Crow, Liz Phair, Matchbox Twenty, Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles.
