HelloAlthough I have been involved in music, one way or another since I started piano lessons at 8, it was only about 6 years ago or so that I started writing songs, thanks to a brilliant musician/composer who I happened to know and from whom I took lessons for one year.
After giving up the piano at 12 in favour of the clarinet I felt drawn back to the piano some 20 years later. This time however instead of playing other peoples music I would sit at the piano and create my own melodies. Some years later having chanced upon my new found teacher, I was taught the art of songwriting.
As I was quite a bit older than most who start in this business, I thought I would simply write songs, however encouraged by people in the industry, some saying, well who else would sing your songs, or perhaps more flatteringly, well your voice suits your songs, I decided to take singing lessons and sing them myself. I have over a period of 3 or so years had my fair share of teachers in an attempt to develop what has been for me not the easiest of skills to master. Furthermore as my piano playing was quite mediocre, I searched for a piano accompanist but with little success and therefore as with the singing decided to further my piano skills.
I am now performing my songs when the opportunity arises and am shortly to release my debut mini album “Will & Destinyâ€.
As well as songwriting, I record and produce instrumentals which are generally piano and orchestral based. These are probably more classical in style. You can hear some clips on my website. www.nickiehart.co.uk.
I would be interested in hearing from publishers, managers, producers, other musicians and singers interested in covering my songs.
I hope you like what you hear and thank you for listening.
