For the past 20 years, I’ve been a singer and guitar player performing both as a solo acoustic artist and as a member of various rock and country bands. My shows blend classic and modern country with a mix of classic rock and pop, creating a versatile setlist that connects with audiences of all kinds. Whether on stage with a full band or delivering an intimate acoustic performance, I bring energy, experience, and a genuine love for the music I play.

It all started on a mountain... up in the clouds above the city lights of southern California, is where Nicole caught the songwriting "bug." "I fell in love with the way that lyrics and music danced together into one story." That mountain top is where she wrote her very first song. Since then, she has never turned back.
After her first co-writing experience, in Nashville, TN (and later playing at The Bluebird Café), her passion for pursuing music as an artist only intensified. She is now a self-published, independent recording artist who crafts her songs while on the road in her pickup or out in the fields with her horses. Her music brings out both the poetry and simplicity of the country life she loves.
Nicole and her band have opened for Nashville country acts such as Jameson Rogers, Brandon Davis, & Canadian country trio "The Heels." Her debut single, "Hearts First" pays tribute to her influences with a bluesy, heartfelt message and a country/rock feel. Nicole is the real deal, a country horsewoman -- penning her life and the stories of country folk like her.
