A POWERHOUSE VOICE. A VIRTUOSIC TRUMPET.
Nicole began playing trumpet at age 9, and has been singing all her life. Growing up in the Chicago area afforded her incredible opportunities for music, including performing at Carnegie Hall and Symphony Center with the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra, and at Lincoln Center as a member of the Youth Jazz Ensemble of DuPage. She graduated from the prestigious Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University, then moved to Florida to develop as a freelance artist and produce her own shows for cruise ships.
While in Florida, Nicole has performed with the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra and Brevard Symphony Orchestra. She got her Disney start in California in the All-American College Band, and for ten years has been making people smile at Walt Disney World in the Main Street Philharmonic and Epcot's Candlelight Processional. In 2008 she produced her first solo album with a live band, launching her career as a headliner; in 2012 came her first international concert series in Sicily. As a recording artist, her project Upside, co-written with multi-platinum producer Veit Renn, is a pop electronic dance album released in 2015. In 2024, Nicole marked a major career milestone by headlining her debut pops orchestra performance with the Illinois Valley Symphony Orchestra. She is also the trumpeter, vocalist, and founder of Chicago Divas—an all-female tribute to the legendary band Chicago.
