NaCole Rice

Now NaCole!
Recording artist, NaCole, fuses ‘old-school’ style with the drive of new-school electricity that treats music lovers to a middle-school sound! “I grew up listening to old-school… old-school melodies, harmonies, and lyrics.” says NaCole. “At the same time, I love and respect the artists of the new-school because of their energy. As a result, I think my music is a reflection of both worlds.”
Born into (and surrounded by) a family of talented singers from Gallatin Tennessee, NaCole’s vocal talent became evident at an early age. She truly embraced her gift… joining American Idol’s Kimberley Locke, Selina Robb, and Chandra Boone to collectively form ‘Shadz of U’. NaCole learned how to entertain and showcase her unique soulful voice. After more than fifteen years of performing as part of a group, NaCole chose to pursue a solo career with the support of family, friends, and music industry pros. NaCole’s studio involvements have included working alongside grammy-winning producer and writer Shannon Sanders [India.Arie, Heather Headley, Eric Benet], working on music from platinum producer Tony Galvin [T.I., Basic Vocab, Trina, Dave Ghetto], as well as Nashville's Dale Babb, Julius Fisher, Kriz Kang, and Lenny Hamilton.
NaCole’s newest recording project includes a cover of the classic, “If Only You Knew”, as a tribue to her favorite singer, Patti LaBelle. “I’ve sung this song many times, but I wanted to do something new with it,” expressed NaCole. “Since it is a ‘Patti’ song, I definitely had to bring as much love and integrity to it as I could. I believe I’ve created something that listeners and fans of Patti will enjoy.” NaCole continues to work on her full-length debut recording with every confidence in the world that she is finally doing what she was meant to do as a solo-artist.
