“With each passing day, she continues to grow, evolve, and develop as an artist. Her journey is marked by a relentless pursuit of musical excellence and a constant desire to push the boundaries of her creativity. Nicollette’s commitment to her art is evident in every note she sings and every lyric she writes.”
Nicollette has been surrounded by music her entire life.
Both of her parents are singers; her dad was the lead singer in a hard rock band and her mom sang back up for various bands. Exposed to hard rock and metal from dad and Soul, R&B, Classical, and Funk from mom, Nicollette had a diverse musical experience growing up.
Meanwhile, with her mom and grandmother, she was steeped in classic, black and white films, and period pieces. It was watching these films that led to Nicollette’s discovery of some of the artists that influenced her musical development; Such as Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, and Nina Simone. Through musicals and singing in choir while in school, Nicollette began developing her voice by pursuing singing professionally after high school. It was then that the writing for her debut album began. Over the next few years Nicollette’s "voice" and brand developed. Today she is working on her sophomore album and continuing to grow, evolve and develop as an artist.
“Nicollette is poised to make a huge impact.”

“During my first album, I was really learning the basics of how to be an artist. Getting used to being vulnerable. Learning the process of writing and then recording a song. I was still finding myself… I still am and will always be. I have grown a lot since then, both personally and musically. I think there is a maturity you can hear in my new work. I am more vulnerable lyrically. If you read my lyrics it’s like reading pages out of my diary.”
