N.I.C.

Who is N.I.C.?

Good question, and one that seems to be getting asked more and more these days. Hardly surprising if you’ve ever had a taste of this sultry singer. Trouble is, it ain’t that easy to sum her up in a media friendly sound bite. So for those of you who feel the need to pigeonhole artists with the latest convenient label, this is not for you.

However, for those who are still looking for passion and adventure, here is an attempt to sum up N.I.C.

Every so often, something comes along that’s got it all. Nor am I talking about something that has been carefully designed to be the " whole package". This is the real deal.

N.I.C. is one of those really annoying individuals who is talented enough to turn her hand to anything and excell at it. And don't be fooled by her beauty either, this pretty face has brains that take no prisoners!

An all-encompassing artist, an accomplished singer/ songwriter, a provocative performer and one of the few female producers in the World. Yep, she’s got it all. Told you she was annoying, but it gets worse. You see, it’s very difficult to dislike her. She is disarmingly charming. Honest, funny, sexy and just very… genuine. You can’t help but fall in love with her, don’t worry though, it’s not your fault. After all, you’re only human and everybody else is doing the same. Girls want to be her… boys want to be with her. A real star.

The same was true for a little girl growing up in rural Germany. Her father , a trumpet player, and mother , a singer brought the fledgling N.I.C. up on a diet of Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder and James Brown. Like we all have at some point, the 5 yr old NIC stood in front of the mirror with a hairbrush and dreamed of becoming a singer. However , unlike the rest of us, NIC wasn't just miming to her beloved Prince- and David Bowie Songs, she was making up her own.She could read music before she could read words.

At the age of 17, N.I.C. based herself in Cologne and trained with Spanish opera Diva Francesca Beaumot. From here she travelled all over Europe also singing for soul and funk legends such as The Weather Girls and George Clinton. By the time German TV music station VIVA had asked her to support the Backstreet Boys it was clear to all that the billing should have been the other way round.

N.I.C. then decided to do it herself. And so to the present day, N.I.C. is currently working on her debut album with Germanys hottest dance producer King Brain. It’s a power packed punch of pop, house, rock and techno all fused together with funk. If the first single ‘I’m All You Need’ is anything to go by then look out. Whatever your fetish or fantasy is, N.I.C. is all you need. That's a very brief summary of what NIC is about. The only other thing I would add is that as a performer she likes both, to give and to receive. And now I'm off to imagine what that might mean. If you want to know more, you'd better check her out for yourself!

But if I were you, I'd hurry because N.I.C. won't be a secret for very much longer.
