Nikeya began singing when she was about two years old. Her mother realized early that her daughter was anointed to sing. She allowed Nikeya to sing in the choir at church. Nikeya continued to sing in choirs from middle school through college, but it was her experience with the DePaul Gospel Choir that changed her forever! The DePaul Gospel Choir did more than polish her vocal skills. It reconnected her with God like never before! Nikeya served faithfully with the gospel choir as a Chaplain, member of the Alpha and Omega Dance Ministry, and lead soloist. It was at DePaul where Nikeya met Rodney Young Jr. and Barrie Buckner. Rodney played the keyboard for the choir, and Barrie was a member of the choir. These two formed Youngbuck Productions during their years at DePaul. In the summer of 2005, Nikeya began working with Rodney on a project called "Relationships, Vol. 1," an album promoting sexual purity and intimacy with God that will be released in 2008. Blessed with the gift of songwriting as well, Nikeya wrote four of the songs on that project. Rodney and Barrie asked her to work with them as a songwriter/background vocalist for various clients at Studio 713. Nikeya's voice has appeared on other projects such as Jason Shepherd and Another Level, The Happiness Club, and Indie Gospel Artist Tracey Barbour. While Nikeya has enjoyed working on various projects, she looks forward to creating her debut CD in 2008 with the help of God and her dynamic production team, Youngbuck Productions! Nikeya is also the reigning 2008 Miss Illinois Plus America and she will be competing for the Miss Plus America crown in Dallas, Texas THIS SUMMER (July 2-6, 2008)! 2008 is DEFINITELY the Year of Fullness for this awesome woman of God, so be on the lookout for this dynamic songstress/beauty queen in 2008!!!
