Just hit the eastside of the LBC… On a mission tryin’ to find a new Queen of R&B. What? That’s how the song goes right? Well if not, then it’s time to change things up a bit. Word on the streets says that there’s a softer side to Long Beach: a sexy side. Sit Snoop! Roll over Nate! There’s a new sensation in town and she’s here to teach the old dogs some new tricks. It’s time to unleash the game and let it run free because Nikki Diaz, the freshest Latina R&B performing artist, is changing all the rules and Brik House Entertainment is building her empire block by block.
It’s arguable that even at the tender age of 20 Nikki Diaz’s vocal abilities challenge some of the fiercest competitors on the board, and she’ s got the dice in her hands. With runs reminiscent of Brandy in her prime and range that reaches the heavens, Miss Diaz should be feeling much more than lucky. A native of Long Beach, CA, Nikki possesses an Aliyah-like mystique that whispers sexy and soft yet suggests classy and confident. To know her is to love her. The young singer/dancer/songwriter’s vibrant personality and strength of character shine through her music, but outside of the recording booth it is Nikki’s contagious and witty sense of humor that radiates.
Maybe it was the myriad of school-tour performances during her early teens that make this young recording artist appear so seasoned at such a young age. Or maybe it was the weekend-after-weekend promenade performances at Venice Beach when she was singing and dancing just to help mom and pop pay the bills. If we go even farther back to age 8, then perhaps it was performing childhood renditions of her favorite cantas by Selena that prepared her to harness the power of her talent and versatility. In my opinion, one would have to look way back to Nikki Diaz’s unique Latin-Black-French-Aztec heritage to truly appreciate Nikki’s equally unique abilities. From mother to Grandmother, talent streams through the family lineage.
Currently, the new LBC phenom is busy in the studio with producers such as Daren Vegas (2Pac and Bone Thugs) and artists such as Chino XL generating heat but with a cool breeze like a classic Long Beach summer. Nikki states, “My first album is really just a way of saying thank you to those that believed in me from the jump. But I’ve got a lot to offer…this album is just the first track of my Long-Play career!†Come Summer 2007, expect nothing less than finger-snappin’ club-bangin’ Hip- Hop beats seductively laced by Nikki’s secrets. Don’t be surprised though when she taps into the range that touches your soul the way only real R&B can do. But underneath all of the star qualities lays a fun, cute, and simply adorable girl-next-door: Nikki Diaz.
