Born in Los Angeles and started singing at the age of 12 with a Gospel group in church; where she spent most of her time. Later when she got older she started singing back ground vocals for Barbara Streisand, Michael Jackson and Brandy just to name an amazing few, but her thirst to be a solo artist was not quenched until she and Alonzo Jackson were reacquainted. They met years before, but the stars were aligned the second time around when he was impressed by her growth as a writer and artist, so he invited her to come and write at a session with his then boss Dr. Dre.
That one session turned into Nikki signing with Dr. Dreﾒs publishing company ﾓHard Working Black Folksﾔ and Nikki has had her chance to shine, co-writing ﾓFireﾔ on 50 Centﾒs last album(50 Cent Feat. Nicole Scherzinger) and writing and or singing LEAD and background vocals for Dr. Dre, Busta Rhymes, Stat Quo, Bishop Lamont, Raphael Saadiq, God Body, Ginuwine, and countless others. Most recently Nikki’s song “Touch Me” was featured in the film “Not Easily Broken”.
