<description>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Nikkole&amp;#39;s Biography&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;p&gt;NIKKOLE...she&amp;#39;s not your average chick! Truly bridging the gap and taking you back with an old skool soul that is oven-fresh and what&amp;#39;s missing in today&amp;#39;s music!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nikkole is an independent musician that has established herself as a true artist within the music world. Among the current crop of rising stars, Nikkole is definitely the one who has a complete package: voice, looks and a strong work ethic, that will catapult her to becoming the next legend! Nikkole is a vibrant and universal Singer / Songwriter / Producer / Performer with a 5-Octave Range whose performance in the studio and on-stage is filled with Emotion and Excitement!!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 2001, she released her debut CD entitled &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Appearance&amp;#39;&amp;#39; on SE Entertainment Records, which introduced the world to Nikkole&amp;#39;s amazing vocal sound and unique songwriting ability. Her hard work resulted in a Best Pop Album award from Radio Free Virgin and JPF, for which she beat out 7800 other independently released albums. Her winning streak continued with another award from Radio Free Virgin and JPF with &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Over It&amp;#39;&amp;#39; being named one of the top 20 Best Pop Singles out of 25,000 independent successful songs in 2003. Nikkole further proved her success when she became the 1 independent singer in the US with her debut album, &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Appearance&amp;#39;&amp;#39; via mp3.com, which was one of the first major music internet websites.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The success of &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Appearances&amp;#39;&amp;#39; enabled Nikkole to branch out and work with some of the world&amp;#39;s top performers such as Babyface, The Emotions, Lakeside, The Commodores, Midnight Star, Norman Brown, Gregory Hines, Whoopi Goldberg, Cedric the Entertainer, and Patrice Rushen. Each collaboration brought new challenges and has helped develop and enhance Nikkole&amp;#39;s own unique voice and style. Nikkole has written and crafted new tunes for The Emotions and The Commodores and she has appeared on the soundtracks to the films &amp;#39;&amp;#39;The Brothers&amp;#39;&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Biker Boyz&amp;#39;&amp;#39; and &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Love and Action in Chicago.&amp;#39;&amp;#39; Nikkole also appears on Norman Brown&amp;#39;s 1 Billboard smash &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Stay With Me&amp;#39;&amp;#39; (2007), more specifically the radio-friendly cut &amp;#39;&amp;#39;You Keep Lifting Me Higher,&amp;#39;&amp;#39; which she not only sang, but she wrote and arranged the vocals. In fact, Nikkole spent 8 weeks at 1 on Billboard&amp;#39;s Contemporary Jazz Charts with Norman Brown&amp;#39;s, &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Stay With Me&amp;#39;&amp;#39; project. The album remained in Billboard&amp;#39;s Top 10 for over 4 months!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nikkole has written and co-produced every single song on all three of her albums. Nikkole is also a voting member of the prestigious National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences &amp;#39;&amp;#39;The Grammys&amp;#39;&amp;#39;, which is quite an honor especially for an independent recording artist. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While we are on the subject of the Grammys, Nikkole was up for 3 Nominations in the following categories at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards: Best Urban / Alternative Performance - Breathe, Best R&amp;#38;B Song - Breathe and Best New Artist! Again this year, Nikkole has been selected as a contender for 8 Nominations in the following categories at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards: Album of The Year - Creolepatra, Best New Artist, Best R&amp;#38;B Female Vocal Performance - Exotic, Best R&amp;#38;B Female Vocal Performance - I Really Need You, Best Traditional R&amp;#38;B Vocal Performance - Nikkole feat. David T. Walker - Where I Was Meant To Be, Best R&amp;#38;B Song - Love Was Made In Heaven, Best Contemporary R&amp;#38;B Album - Creolepatra, Best Album Notes - Creolepatra.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Following up and building upon the success of her first CD, Nikkole released a brand new full-length LP entitled &amp;#39;&amp;#39;A Girl Like Me&amp;#39;&amp;#39; on SE Entertainment Records. This CD exposed the world to Nikkole&amp;#39;s five octave range, and reminded them of the lyrical ingenue&amp;#39;s exceptional skills. The lead off single &amp;#39;&amp;#39;It&amp;#39;s Too Late&amp;#39;&amp;#39; features The Emotions and was added to medium or heavy rotation at over 60 commercial radio stations, including Clear Channel Stations in the U.S. alone and to numerous radio stations in the UK, the Netherlands, France, Italy, Germany, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga and the Cook Islands. Nikkole has especially struck a chord in Japan as her overwhelming demand there has led her to record two of the songs from &amp;#39;&amp;#39;A Girl Like Me&amp;#39;&amp;#39; in Japanese, making her one of the first American Pop / R&amp;#38;B recording artists to do so. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The explosive album, &amp;#39;&amp;#39;A Girl Like Me&amp;#39;&amp;#39; generated a second HOT Single, &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Gon&amp;#39; Bounce&amp;#39;&amp;#39; which was also added to radio stations at a feverish pace. &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Gon&amp;#39; Bounce&amp;#39;&amp;#39; debuted at 1 on American Idol radio on the first week of release in the U.S.! &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Gon&amp;#39; Bounce&amp;#39;&amp;#39; did what it was destined to do, which was to heat up the dance floors around the country and world!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nikkole released yet another fantastic single from &amp;#39;&amp;#39;A Girl Like Me,&amp;#39;&amp;#39; which was the Neo-Soul cut, &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Breathe.&amp;#39;&amp;#39; The video for the song was listed as one of the Hottest new R&amp;#38;B videos on Blastro!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fans and critics are both raving:&lt;/p&gt;Old school blended with a contemporary pop/urban sound is what listeners can delight themselves in when listening to the enchanting vocals of Nikkole. &lt;span&gt;Lynn Norment, Managing Editor of Ebony Magazine&lt;/span&gt;Nikkole is superb, what an amazing talent. We at NIU FM are pleased to add such a dynamic artist to our program playlist...she is destined for stardom. &lt;span&gt;Jae&amp;#39;d Victor, Programme Director, NIU FM - New Zealand&lt;/span&gt;Nikkole has the range and the potential to be the next big hit. She has a great old school soul, sultry sound and the listeners in this area love Nikkole &lt;span&gt;Denise Brooks, Director of Urban Programming, Clear Channel, WJKX/WZLD/WEEZ, Hattiesburg, MS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;Proving that music isn&amp;#39;t the only arena that she can conquer, Nikkole has also enjoyed modeling which afforded her the opportunity to branch off into her first love --- music. This gave her the chance to finance her first album &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Appearances&amp;#39;&amp;#39; on her own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The success of Nikkole&amp;#39;s recording career has also led to endorsements and or sponsorships with Smashbox Cosmetics, Nine West, Sterling Capricio, Sergio Valente, True Religion, Joe&amp;#39;s Jeans, Seychelles Footwear, LF Larchmont, and A Catherine Original. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nikkole was featured in the December 2004 Edition of Ironman Japan modeling with World Renowned Bodybuilding Champion Ken Yasuda, and in the April 2005 issue Nikkole is highlighted in the article for the movie &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Just Another Romantic Wrestling Comedy&amp;#39;&amp;#39;, in which her song &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Baby, Baby&amp;#39;&amp;#39; was picked for the soundtrack. Nikkole was featured in MediaSearch Magazine of Australia in 2006. She was also interviewed in the December 2005 issue of BRE (Black Renaissance Exclusive) about her CD &amp;#39;&amp;#39;A Girl Like Me&amp;#39;&amp;#39; and she is featured in the Sounding Off section of Ebony Magazine, August 2006.

Nikkole was featured in the January 2007 issue of InMag and in the August 2007 edition of L.A.&amp;#39;s The Place and the September 2007 edition of Riveting Riffs as well. This is addition to numerous newspaper articles and regional magazine reviews of Nikkole&amp;#39;s recordings and concerts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On November 20, 2007, Nikkole released her very first Christmas EP, &amp;#39;&amp;#39;It&amp;#39;s Christmas&amp;#39;&amp;#39; / &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Wrap Me Up (Special Delivery).&amp;#39;&amp;#39; This collection of two original holiday songs was well received and the EP is on it&amp;#39;s way to being a seasonal favorite! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In February of 2008, Nikkole&amp;#39;s song, &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Beautiful Colors&amp;#39;&amp;#39; from her debut album, &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Appearances&amp;#39;&amp;#39; was selected for a television and radio ad campaign for Mattress Firm, the largest mattress retailer in the United States.

Supporting act for Midnight Star. </itunes:subtitle><itunes:summary>Nikkole&amp;#39;s Biography NIKKOLE...she&amp;#39;s not your average chick! Truly bridging the gap and taking you back with an old skool soul that is oven-fresh and what&amp;#39;s missing in today&amp;#39;s music! Nikkole is an independent musician that has established herself as a true artist within the music world. Among the current crop of rising stars, Nikkole is definitely the one who has a complete package: voice, looks and a strong work ethic, that will catapult her to becoming the next legend! Nikkole is a vibrant and universal Singer / Songwriter / Producer / Performer with a 5-Octave Range whose performance in the studio and on-stage is filled with Emotion and Excitement!!! In 2001, she released her debut CD entitled &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Appearance&amp;#39;&amp;#39; on SE Entertainment Records, which introduced the world to Nikkole&amp;#39;s amazing vocal sound and unique songwriting ability. Her hard work resulted in a Best Pop Album award from Radio Free Virgin and JPF, for which she beat out 7800 other independently released albums. Her winning streak continued with another award from Radio Free Virgin and JPF with &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Over It&amp;#39;&amp;#39; being named one of the top 20 Best Pop Singles out of 25,000 independent successful songs in 2003. Nikkole further proved her success when she became the 1 independent singer in the US with her debut album, &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Appearance&amp;#39;&amp;#39; via mp3.com, which was one of the first major music internet websites. The success of &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Appearances&amp;#39;&amp;#39; enabled Nikkole to branch out and work with some of the world&amp;#39;s top performers such as Babyface, The Emotions, Lakeside, The Commodores, Midnight Star, Norman Brown, Gregory Hines, Whoopi Goldberg, Cedric the Entertainer, and Patrice Rushen. Each collaboration brought new challenges and has helped develop and enhance Nikkole&amp;#39;s own unique voice and style. Nikkole has written and crafted new tunes for The Emotions and The Commodores and she has appeared on the soundtracks to the films &amp;#39;&amp;#39;The Brothers&amp;#39;&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Biker Boyz&amp;#39;&amp;#39; and &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Love and Action in Chicago.&amp;#39;&amp;#39; Nikkole also appears on Norman Brown&amp;#39;s 1 Billboard smash &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Stay With Me&amp;#39;&amp;#39; (2007), more specifically the radio-friendly cut &amp;#39;&amp;#39;You Keep Lifting Me Higher,&amp;#39;&amp;#39; which she not only sang, but she wrote and arranged the vocals. In fact, Nikkole spent 8 weeks at 1 on Billboard&amp;#39;s Contemporary Jazz Charts with Norman Brown&amp;#39;s, &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Stay With Me&amp;#39;&amp;#39; project. The album remained in Billboard&amp;#39;s Top 10 for over 4 months! Nikkole has written and co-produced every single song on all three of her albums. Nikkole is also a voting member of the prestigious National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences &amp;#39;&amp;#39;The Grammys&amp;#39;&amp;#39;, which is quite an honor especially for an independent recording artist. While we are on the subject of the Grammys, Nikkole was up for 3 Nominations in the following categories at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards: Best Urban / Alternative Performance - Breathe, Best R&amp;#38;B Song - Breathe and Best New Artist! Again this year, Nikkole has been selected as a contender for 8 Nominations in the following categories at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards: Album of The Year - Creolepatra, Best New Artist, Best R&amp;#38;B Female Vocal Performance - Exotic, Best R&amp;#38;B Female Vocal Performance - I Really Need You, Best Traditional R&amp;#38;B Vocal Performance - Nikkole feat. David T. Walker - Where I Was Meant To Be, Best R&amp;#38;B Song - Love Was Made In Heaven, Best Contemporary R&amp;#38;B Album - Creolepatra, Best Album Notes - Creolepatra. Following up and building upon the success of her first CD, Nikkole released a brand new full-length LP entitled &amp;#39;&amp;#39;A Girl Like Me&amp;#39;&amp;#39; on SE Entertainment Records. This CD exposed the world to Nikkole&amp;#39;s five octave range, and reminded them of the lyrical ingenue&amp;#39;s exceptional skills.

<author>info@nikkole.com (Nikkole)</author><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle> Video excerpt of Nikkole and the band rehearsing ''Love Was Made In Heaven", which has been the #1 R&amp;B digital download in Los Angeles for 17 weeks in a row. Band members are: BG's: Wallace Hall and Amy Jones, Musical Director / Drums: Jeffery Suttles, B</itunes:subtitle><itunes:summary>Nikkole&amp;#39;s Biography NIKKOLE...she&amp;#39;s not your average chick! Truly bridging the gap and taking you back with an old skool soul that is oven-fresh and what&amp;#39;s missing in today&amp;#39;s music! Nikkole is an independent musician that has established herself as a true artist within the music world. Among the current crop of rising stars, Nikkole is definitely the one who has a complete package: voice, looks and a strong work ethic, that will catapult her to becoming the next legend! Nikkole is a vibrant and universal Singer / Songwriter / Producer / Performer with a 5-Octave Range whose performance in the studio and on-stage is filled with Emotion and Excitement!!! In 2001, she released her debut CD entitled &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Appearance&amp;#39;&amp;#39; on SE Entertainment Records, which introduced the world to Nikkole&amp;#39;s amazing vocal sound and unique songwriting ability. Her hard work resulted in a Best Pop Album award from Radio Free Virgin and JPF, for which she beat out 7800 other independently released albums. Her winning streak continued with another award from Radio Free Virgin and JPF with &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Over It&amp;#39;&amp;#39; being named one of the top 20 Best Pop Singles out of 25,000 independent successful songs in 2003. Nikkole further proved her success when she became the 1 independent singer in the US with her debut album, &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Appearance&amp;#39;&amp;#39; via mp3.com, which was one of the first major music internet websites. The success of &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Appearances&amp;#39;&amp;#39; enabled Nikkole to branch out and work with some of the world&amp;#39;s top performers such as Babyface, The Emotions, Lakeside, The Commodores, Midnight Star, Norman Brown, Gregory Hines, Whoopi Goldberg, Cedric the Entertainer, and Patrice Rushen. Each collaboration brought new challenges and has helped develop and enhance Nikkole&amp;#39;s own unique voice and style. Nikkole has written and crafted new tunes for The Emotions and The Commodores and she has appeared on the soundtracks to the films &amp;#39;&amp;#39;The Brothers&amp;#39;&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Biker Boyz&amp;#39;&amp;#39; and &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Love and Action in Chicago.&amp;#39;&amp;#39; Nikkole also appears on Norman Brown&amp;#39;s 1 Billboard smash &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Stay With Me&amp;#39;&amp;#39; (2007), more specifically the radio-friendly cut &amp;#39;&amp;#39;You Keep Lifting Me Higher,&amp;#39;&amp;#39; which she not only sang, but she wrote and arranged the vocals. In fact, Nikkole spent 8 weeks at 1 on Billboard&amp;#39;s Contemporary Jazz Charts with Norman Brown&amp;#39;s, &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Stay With Me&amp;#39;&amp;#39; project. The album remained in Billboard&amp;#39;s Top 10 for over 4 months! Nikkole has written and co-produced every single song on all three of her albums. Nikkole is also a voting member of the prestigious National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences &amp;#39;&amp;#39;The Grammys&amp;#39;&amp;#39;, which is quite an honor especially for an independent recording artist. While we are on the subject of the Grammys, Nikkole was up for 3 Nominations in the following categories at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards: Best Urban / Alternative Performance - Breathe, Best R&amp;#38;B Song - Breathe and Best New Artist! Again this year, Nikkole has been selected as a contender for 8 Nominations in the following categories at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards: Album of The Year - Creolepatra, Best New Artist, Best R&amp;#38;B Female Vocal Performance - Exotic, Best R&amp;#38;B Female Vocal Performance - I Really Need You, Best Traditional R&amp;#38;B Vocal Performance - Nikkole feat. David T. Walker - Where I Was Meant To Be, Best R&amp;#38;B Song - Love Was Made In Heaven, Best Contemporary R&amp;#38;B Album - Creolepatra, Best Album Notes - Creolepatra. Following up and building upon the success of her first CD, Nikkole released a brand new full-length LP entitled &amp;#39;&amp;#39;A Girl Like Me&amp;#39;&amp;#39; on SE Entertainment Records. This CD exposed the world to Nikkole&amp;#39;s five octave range, and reminded them of the lyrical ingenue&amp;#39;s exceptional skills. The lead off single &amp;#39;&amp;#39;It&amp;#39;s Too Late&amp;#39;&amp;#39; features The Emotions a</itunes:summary><feedburner:origLink>http://blip.tv/file/2465436</feedburner:origLink></item>

Truly bridging the gap and taking you back with an old skool soul that is oven-fresh and what&amp;#39;s missing in today&amp;#39;s music! Nikkole is an independent musician that has established herself as a true artist within the music world. Among the current crop of rising stars, Nikkole is definitely the one who has a complete package: voice, looks and a strong work ethic, that will catapult her to becoming the next legend! Nikkole is a vibrant and universal Singer / Songwriter / Producer / Performer with a 5-Octave Range whose performance in the studio and on-stage is filled with Emotion and Excitement!!! In 2001, she released her debut CD entitled &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Appearance&amp;#39;&amp;#39; on SE Entertainment Records, which introduced the world to Nikkole&amp;#39;s amazing vocal sound and unique songwriting ability. Her hard work resulted in a Best Pop Album award from Radio Free Virgin and JPF, for which she beat out 7800 other independently released albums. Her winning streak continued with another award from Radio Free Virgin and JPF with &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Over It&amp;#39;&amp;#39; being named one of the top 20 Best Pop Singles out of 25,000 independent successful songs in 2003. Nikkole further proved her success when she became the 1 independent singer in the US with her debut album, &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Appearance&amp;#39;&amp;#39; via mp3.com, which was one of the first major music internet websites. The success of &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Appearances&amp;#39;&amp;#39; enabled Nikkole to branch out and work with some of the world&amp;#39;s top performers such as Babyface, The Emotions, Lakeside, The Commodores, Midnight Star, Norman Brown, Gregory Hines, Whoopi Goldberg, Cedric the Entertainer, and Patrice Rushen. Each collaboration brought new challenges and has helped develop and enhance Nikkole&amp;#39;s own unique voice and style. Nikkole has written and crafted new tunes for The Emotions and The Commodores and she has appeared on the soundtracks to the films &amp;#39;&amp;#39;The Brothers&amp;#39;&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Biker Boyz&amp;#39;&amp;#39; and &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Love and Action in Chicago.&amp;#39;&amp;#39; Nikkole also appears on Norman Brown&amp;#39;s 1 Billboard smash &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Stay With Me&amp;#39;&amp;#39; (2007), more specifically the radio-friendly cut &amp;#39;&amp;#39;You Keep Lifting Me Higher,&amp;#39;&amp;#39; which she not only sang, but she wrote and arranged the vocals.

Truly bridging the gap and taking you back with an old skool soul that is oven-fresh and what&amp;#39;s missing in today&amp;#39;s music! Nikkole is an independent musician that has established herself as a true artist within the music world. Among the current crop of rising stars, Nikkole is definitely the one who has a complete package: voice, looks and a strong work ethic, that will catapult her to becoming the next legend! Nikkole is a vibrant and universal Singer / Songwriter / Producer / Performer with a 5-Octave Range whose performance in the studio and on-stage is filled with Emotion and Excitement!!! In 2001, she released her debut CD entitled &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Appearance&amp;#39;&amp;#39; on SE Entertainment Records, which introduced the world to Nikkole&amp;#39;s amazing vocal sound and unique songwriting ability. Her hard work resulted in a Best Pop Album award from Radio Free Virgin and JPF, for which she beat out 7800 other independently released albums. Her winning streak continued with another award from Radio Free Virgin and JPF with &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Over It&amp;#39;&amp;#39; being named one of the top 20 Best Pop Singles out of 25,000 independent successful songs in 2003. Nikkole further proved her success when she became the 1 independent singer in the US with her debut album, &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Appearance&amp;#39;&amp;#39; via mp3.com, which was one of the first major music internet websites. The success of &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Appearances&amp;#39;&amp;#39; enabled Nikkole to branch out and work with some of the world&amp;#39;s top performers such as Babyface, The Emotions, Lakeside, The Commodores, Midnight Star, Norman Brown, Gregory Hines, Whoopi Goldberg, Cedric the Entertainer, and Patrice Rushen. Each collaboration brought new challenges and has helped develop and enhance Nikkole&amp;#39;s own unique voice and style. Nikkole has written and crafted new tunes for The Emotions and The Commodores and she has appeared on the soundtracks to the films &amp;#39;&amp;#39;The Brothers&amp;#39;&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Biker Boyz&amp;#39;&amp;#39; and &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Love and Action in Chicago.&amp;#39;&amp;#39; Nikkole also appears on Norman Brown&amp;#39;s 1 Billboard smash &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Stay With Me&amp;#39;&amp;#39; (2007), more specifically the radio-friendly cut &amp;#39;&amp;#39;You Keep Lifting Me Higher,&amp;#39;&amp;#39; which she not only sang, but she wrote and arranged the vocals. In fact, Nikkole spent 8 weeks at 1 on Billboard&amp;#39;s Contemporary Jazz Charts with Norman Brown&amp;#39;s, &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Stay With Me&amp;#39;&amp;#39; project. The album remained in Billboard&amp;#39;s Top 10 for over 4 months! Nikkole has written and co-produced every single song on all three of her albums. Nikkole is also a voting member of the prestigious National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences &amp;#39;&amp;#39;The Grammys&amp;#39;&amp;#39;, which is quite an honor especially for an independent recording artist. While we are on the subject of the Grammys, Nikkole was up for 3 Nominations in the following categories at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards: Best Urban / Alternative Performance - Breathe, Best R&amp;#38;B Song - Breathe and Best New Artist! Again this year, Nikkole has been selected as a contender for 8 Nominations in the following categories at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards: Album of The Year - Creolepatra, Best New Artist, Best R&amp;#38;B Female Vocal Performance - Exotic, Best R&amp;#38;B Female Vocal Performance - I Really Need You, Best Traditional R&amp;#38;B Vocal Performance - Nikkole feat. David T. Walker - Where I Was Meant To Be, Best R&amp;#38;B Song - Love Was Made In Heaven, Best Contemporary R&amp;#38;B Album - Creolepatra, Best Album Notes - Creolepatra. Following up and building upon the success of her first CD, Nikkole released a brand new full-length LP entitled &amp;#39;&amp;#39;A Girl Like Me&amp;#39;&amp;#39; on SE Entertainment Records. This CD exposed the world to Nikkole&amp;#39;s five octave range, and reminded them of the lyrical ingenue&amp;#39;s exceptional skills.

Nikkole further proved her success when she became the 1 independent singer in the US with her debut album, &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Appearance&amp;#39;&amp;#39; via mp3.com, which was one of the first major music internet websites. The success of &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Appearances&amp;#39;&amp;#39; enabled Nikkole to branch out and work with some of the world&amp;#39;s top performers such as Babyface, The Emotions, Lakeside, The Commodores, Midnight Star, Norman Brown, Gregory Hines, Whoopi Goldberg, Cedric the Entertainer, and Patrice Rushen. Each collaboration brought new challenges and has helped develop and enhance Nikkole&amp;#39;s own unique voice and style. Nikkole has written and crafted new tunes for The Emotions and The Commodores and she has appeared on the soundtracks to the films &amp;#39;&amp;#39;The Brothers&amp;#39;&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Biker Boyz&amp;#39;&amp;#39; and &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Love and Action in Chicago.&amp;#39;&amp;#39; Nikkole also appears on Norman Brown&amp;#39;s 1 Billboard smash &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Stay With Me&amp;#39;&amp;#39; (2007), more specifically the radio-friendly cut &amp;#39;&amp;#39;You Keep Lifting Me Higher,&amp;#39;&amp;#39; which she not only sang, but she wrote and arranged the vocals. In fact, Nikkole spent 8 weeks at 1 on Billboard&amp;#39;s Contemporary Jazz Charts with Norman Brown&amp;#39;s, &amp;#39;&amp;#39;Stay With Me&amp;#39;&amp;#39; project. The album remained in Billboard&amp;#39;s Top 10 for over 4 months! Nikkole has written and co-produced every single song on all three of her albums. Nikkole is also a voting member of the prestigious National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences &amp;#39;&amp;#39;The Grammys&amp;#39;&amp;#39;, which is quite an honor especially for an independent recording artist. While we are on the subject of the Grammys, Nikkole was up for 3 Nominations in the following categories at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards: Best Urban / Alternative Performance - Breathe, Best R&amp;#38;B Song - Breathe and Best New Artist! Again this year, Nikkole has been selected as a contender for 8 Nominations in the following categories at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards: Album of The Year - Creolepatra, Best New Artist, Best R&amp;#38;B Female Vocal Performance - Exotic, Best R&amp;#38;B Female Vocal Performance - I Really Need You, Best Traditional R&amp;#38;B Vocal Performance - Nikkole feat. David T. Walker - Where I Was Meant To Be, Best R&amp;#38;B Song - Love Was Made In Heaven, Best Contemporary R&amp;#38;B Album - Creolepatra, Best Album Notes - Creolepatra. Following up and building upon the success of her first CD, Nikkole released a brand new full-length LP entitled &amp;#39;&amp;#39;A Girl Like Me&amp;#39;&amp;#39; on SE Entertainment Records. This CD exposed the world to Nikkole&amp;#39;s five octave range, and reminded them of the lyrical ingenue&amp;#39;s exceptional skills.
