COUP D’ETAT

“..It’s so much music being released daily; to the point you tend not to pay attention anymore. But if you listen to C.Nichole once, you’ll find yourself humming her melodies and lyrics without even realizing it.” – Various First Time Listeners

C.Nichole describes Coup d’Etat as “R&B without all the extraness; no Trap R&B, no Dance R&B…just R&B. Real observations, real life, real lyrics.” Influenced by R&B from the ’90s and early 00’s, C.Nichole started writing songs at the age of 11, with Maria Mena and Amy Winehouse as songwriting inspirations.

By 2009, C.Nichole had already written over 1,200 songs and was penning songs for local independent artist. In 2013, C.Nichole decided to get behind the microphone by releasing “Any Which Way”, as being the other half of the Alternative Hip-Hop/Alternative R&B duo group, Apollo’s Interlude. The group quickly dissolved because of business disagreements. But C.Nichole wasn’t done with music.

Being born in Dallas, TX, raised in Pasadena, CA, and attending college in places such as London, England, C.Nichole decided to take all the different styles of music, blend it with R&B, while including her laid back personality lyrically and melodically, to create her own sound. Her style has been described as using “a significant amount of melismatic vocals and ‘Minor’ key in her songs.” – Bill Everatt, Celtic Radio

“Know Me Now” was released as a free single as an autobiographical introduction to the public. The first single, “In My Dreams”, charted on DRT’s Top 200, Top 50 Independent and Top 50 R&B/Hip-Hop for 10 consecutive weeks, with plays in the US, Canada, UK, Nigeria. The second single, “Hope You Hear This (On The Radio)”, has already been accepted at radio stations within the US and UK.

C.Nichole certainly has plans to stick around within the industry, as she is currently demoing songs for her fourth album; promising to bring different themes, and memorable lyrics and melodies back to R&B. Coup d’Etat is just the beginning.
