About Me


Having started her career singing in a girl band signed and managed by No.1 Artist Chesney Hawkes and his father “Chip” (The Tremeloes), Nikki has spent the past few years developing her own solo career and focusing on writing her debut album. It was on the strength of these tracks that she was scouted in 2006 by the legendary music mogul Mike Stock (Stock, Aitken and Waterman).


Following this, Nikki has been creating quite a stir in the past year on My Space, clocking up a surge of profile views and an impressive list of friends, including 3 dedicated sites run by her fans! With a buzzing internet vibe she has caught the ears of Capital Radio DJ “Welshy” (co-presenter with Johnny Vaughan on the Capital Breakfast show).


With her obvious vocal talent, Nikki has spiralled into a truthful songwriter, attending to the issues that confront everyone in life. “Desolate Fairground” is a heartbreaking tale addressing the breakdown of the relationship due to addiction. The minimalist production exposes Nikki’s tender vocals, provoking the honest emotion of the track allowing the listener to wander into a land of truth. On the flip-side, “I Resign” is an attitude-driven pop/rock track with anti-bullying undertones and encouraging lyrics which incite the message of strength and conviction in the victim.

The past 18 months has seen Nikki gigging in and around London at well known venues, such as The Betsy Trotwood, The Orange (Original Songwriters) and Café De Paris accompanied by her acoustic guitarist. In popular demand, Nikki was invited to perform on a tour of Under 18s SNAP Dance Nights, in association with Crimestoppers. From this, Nikki has attracted a great following and has recently been asked to appear at a number of Radio Jackie Roadshows around the South West London area.

In recent years, the UK market has been full of indie bands and RnB artists and has yet to sign a female pop/rock chicklette so LISTEN UP! Keep checking back to hear the latest, watch the videos and keep up-to-date on Nikki’s gigs!
