Biography
The most beautiful thing in the world, the sexiest thing in the world, is the sight of someone doing exactly what they were designed to do.
A really busy woman, singer / songwriter / pianist / recording artist / fundraiser and… a wife and mother of 4 children, Nicole hails from a small farming town in Southwestern Ontario. She has sure come a long way from her simple beginnings. These days, she's booked steadily to play for benefit concerts, outdoor concerts, and elite formal galas and by special invitation and for private parties. She is heavily involved in the small but influential child-sponsorship charity, REACH International, organizing and hosting several benefit concerts and fundraisers. REACH's mandate is to provide relief, education and child sponsorship, focusing primarily on access to education and teaching self-sufficiency, while preserving the culture and dignity of the people being helped.
She's currently working on 2 unique recording projects in 2 different studios and preparing for the next CD of more of her own tunes. She's got 2 CD's out for sale locally and gets regular airplay on the local pop radio station, 96.7fm CHYR. (CHYR is a Blackburn Radio Station.)
Says one of Nicole's fans,
"She sings like my soul thinks it can. Ha-ha. It's absolutely beautiful. I just love listening to her voice. I'm always watching to see when she performs next."
She has enough of her own original material to fill approximately 120 minutes (30 songs). Nicole writes songs about real things: relationships, challenges, hard times, coming out of difficulty, and the awesome grace of God in her life.
You'll get bass-y rhythm piano with funky fills combined with her soulful voice that can be raw and powerful one minute, intense and evocative another and delicately innocent the next. Nicole's sound is a powerful intoxicating mix of Linda Ronstadt, sweet Amy Grant, some casual-Carole-King, with Carly Simon attitude and some well placed growls. Every song is delivered with compelling emotion.
When she performs with her band, The Prospects, be prepared for funky, vigorous, rockin' tunes that make you want to get up and dance, snuggle into the one you adore, or go out and make the world a better place. She's a real crowd-pleaser.
