Soon to be Mrs. Tanner

Hollywood sucks you in but it won't spit me out!

About Me

Born Nikki Marie Wehrenberg on November 29th, 1983 in Sacramento, California to parents Martin & Joann Wehrenberg. My father is Irish & German, and my mother is Mexican. I was born & raised in the Sacramento area going from North Highlands to settling in the Roseville area where I went to school. Never sharing my love for music with anyone but the walls in my bedroom, no one knew my true passion. I joined choir classes in the 9th grade & quickly fell in love with the idea of singing for life..Sometimes I took 2 classes a semester just to stay with music all day. I participated in talent shows and choir recitals. After graduating highschool, my musical aspirations died down. Then about 2 years after that I started looking for way to get my voice out there. I did Fashion Rock '03 in Orlando Florida. I got a number of call backs for my 90 second accapella version of Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing," I took one of them & went to L.A. and actually sang Christina Aguilera's "A Voice Within" for producer Dre Allen and his wife Dawn (of En Vogue & Lucy Pearl). Not knowing what I wanted, I stepped away. Later that year, I started sharing my love of music with friends and family and was influenced to sing as much as I could. So I sang the National Anthem in Tampa, Florida for a cheerleading competition. Once again I caught the eye of talent manager David Christensen (former manager of Meredith Brooks). I traveled to L.A. once more to meet with him and Evenescence producer Chris Johnson. I started working with them on developing a sound. But too young and dicouraged, I backed away again. Earlier this year I tried out for my first audition for Making the Band 3 in San Francisco. I sang Etta James' "At Last" in front of legendary talent manager Johnny Wright. I made the first vocal cut and came back the next day. I didn't know what I was doing and didn't take the advice of Johnny to be more outgoing and got cut the second round. My music style is along the lines of a Christina Aguilera/Kelly Clarkson mix. A 'lil pop, a 'lil rock, and a 'lil R&B soul. I love to dance & previously took lessons for 8 years. I want to be able to have a career where I can sing like Christina & dance like Britney. I'm around 5'5 with light brown hair (most of the time) and hazel eyes. ..::**My love is my life. True happiness is learning to love & be loved. Love is a gift. I am in love with an amazing man, his name is Tyson. I like to have fun & be around people who are fun. I love fashion, music, & fancy things. Music is such an important part of my life. Any type of music in any way, I can't live without it. Singing makes me feel better when I'm in a bad mood. It's an expression of my thoughts, feelings, and myself..::** My name is Nikki. I'm 5'5, half Mexican, 1/4 German, 1/4 Irish. I'd like to say I'm a singer, but I've never officially made it that far. I sing as loud as I want in the car, and softly in my boyfriend's ear. I love my friends and my boyfriend more than anything and would do anything for them. My family comes first and most of the time, my friends are concidered as my family. I'm a very passionate person who believes everyone deserves a fair chance. I've been hurt many times so I'm very protective of myself and those I love. I'm very honest & trustworthy! My love is my life. True happiness is learning to love & be loved. Love is a gift. My pain shows through my tears & my music. I don't keep it in, I get it out through that. I like to have fun & be around people who are fun. I love fashion, music, & fancy things. I LOVE underwear, I know it's weird, but that's my thing. I don't eat the ends of my french fries and I LOVE my grandma! I love Jennifer Aniston, she's my favorite actress. Go team ANISTON! Chanel Chance is my signature scent. I miss being a cheerleader. Or a "rah rah". I want my long hair again. I'm addicted to caffine (no joke). I hate seafood. I want to like sushi for my boyfriend's sake, but for my taste buds sake, I just can't. I love Coach purses and my favorite Christian Dior purse is the HARDCORE collection.

Music:

My influences are from everything. When I sing, it's from my heart. The people in my heart are my friends and family. The one inspiration and passion that I sing from is the influence of my boyfriend. The love that we have for one another is a huge influence. He's my friend, my love, my insipartion.Musical influences are:..::**Christina XtiNa Aguilera**::.. I LOVE Christina Aguilera. I love her style, I think she has the most amazing voice, I love her songs. She's a big influence in my music. My favorite song from Christina is Keep on Singin my Song...::**Kelly Clarkson**::.. I think I have around the same music style as Kelly Clarkson. A bit Pop and a bit Rock. I think she sings her heart out and has a phenomenal voice. I love her music. My favorite song from Kelly is the live version of Beautiful Disaster...::**Ashlee Simpson**::.. Although people might disagree with me about Ashlee Simpson's musical talent, I love her style, I love her songs and the way she has so much fun on stage. That influences me. My favorite Ashlee song is Love me for Me...::**Mariah Carey**::.. No one can deny the amazing voice of Mariah Carey. She has such a wide range and can ALWAYS hit a note. She has lasted so long in the music business and still maintains a beautiful sound. She has always been an inspiration to me in music. My favorite Mariah song is All I ever Wanted...::**Alicia Keys**::.. She is so talented in not only her voice, but in the instruments she plays. She's a great songwriter and and emotional musician. Everything Alicia sings or plays, is felt. She's a great talent. My favorite song from Alicia is If I Ain't got You...::**Faith Hill**::.. I like all types of music and county is no different. Faith Hill has such a strong voice that reaches everyone. She has been proven succeddful with the difficult task of crossing over from country to pop and maintaining her spot in country. I've always loved singing one of her songs. My favorite Faith song is If my Heart had Wings...::**Gwen Stefani**::.. She is the definition of diverse. She can sing, wear, and look like anything and she rocks it. She is an inspiration of everything she does and makes it hot. I love all her music and have fun singing her songs.
