MEET NICOLA... “…Adroit new presence…unadulterated pop/rock mastery…” Billboard Magazine “I picked up a guitar when I was seven years old and told my dad: This is exactly what I want to do.” And Nicola hasn’t put her guitar down since. Traveling the world’s greatest music cafes and venues, Nicola’s compelling soul-rock sound has captivated the entertainment industry and fans worldwide. In a short five years, Nicola has put out three full-length, internationally distributed, independent albums; catching the attention of every major media channel, with her five piece brilliant band. A singer, songwriter, musician and trained dancer, Nicola’s pitch-perfect vocals and deep-rooted lyrics are ripe with conviction. “I never set about to convey a specific image or message in my music regarding politics, love, loss, angst or humor, and yet those themes are always at the helm of my writing and my thinking. I’m a terribly undisciplined writer in the sense that I’m very erratic and impulsive. I don’t write every day. Never have. But when I do, I can spontaneously spin out several songs in one day. It’s like I get on some emotional roll and the songs just seem to write themselves. I write what I hear, what I see, what I feel. If something moves me, I can’t let it go. I just have to write it down.” Nicola’s infectious music has been sweeping the press. She has been featured in the National Songwriters Hall of Fame, Billboard, WomenWhoRock, Inside Connection, Glide, TimeOut London, TimeOut NY, New York Cool, The Village Voice, Outwords, Long Island Entertainment, Go NYC, Punk Globe, Songwriter Universe, The Deli and in newspapers across the globe. Nicola has also been on over a dozen documentaries, and some of the hottest television stations and Websites including, MTV, VH1.com, NBC Primetime News, ABC World News, Warner/Reprise Records site: Flypaper, MTA's Music Under NY, Powergig.com, Indie-News.com and on Altarnative.com. Additionally, Nicola’s music is also in radio rotation on college and FM stations nationwide. A native New Yorker, educated at The LaGuardia School of Arts, Nicola’s whole life has been about her art. And her talents have taken her from the Broadway stage to Madison Square Garden. Having once lived in Argentina and finding a home with a blues band, some of her earliest shows were at South American bars and clubs. Heavily influenced by the music of iconic acts, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Tina Turner, Prince, Aerosmith, Pearl Jam and U2, she later found herself at the forefront of her own riveting band. Her exhilarating live shows are an embodiment of the incredibly cultured and sophisticated artist—Nicola. Incorporating all of her talents on stage; playing the keyboard and guitar to impressing the audience with her Flamenco dance training, Nicola delivers each enchanting minute of her set. Her tight band, made up of bassist Jules Rosaly and seasoned rockers Eric Seiz, John Clancy, and Ray "El Chino" Diaz, merges a sultry blend of dark Pop, Rock, Reggae, R&B and Alternative music. Plugged into an amp, or alone in NYC’s Penn Station with her acoustic guitar in hand, Nicola is rock-solid and sexy every single time. “My best songs always seem to be born out of the darkest hours of despair, but somehow they all contain a through-line of hope. If you don’t have hope, what else is there in life?” The heart of Hot Cherry Records, Nicola and her independent team single handedly created an in-demand, sought-after musician. After releasing past successful LPs, Real, What’s the Point and Don’t Take it Personally, Nicola is dropping a remixed and mastered, deluxe edition of Don’t Take it Personally. The reinvented senior album includes new songs produced by Marc Copely, her anticipated radio single, Anybody Out There and a music video of her smash hit, Lighthouse. Nicola won’t be taking a backseat anytime soon. This is just the beginning. "...Wicked...Unreal...Brilliant Voice...Why this woman isn't splattered all over magazines, radio and television is nothing short of criminal..." PunkGlobe - London "...Those streamin' guitar riffs...your tipped edge voice...and those incredible heart pounding chops...ripped the soul of the crowd outa' their seats...we want more..." NY Cool
