HOW IT ALL BEGAN
C.Nichole, born Christin Nichole in Dallas, TX, has been a fan of music since the age of 2, but ultimately remembers Christmas of 1998 as an important moment of her life. After unwrapping and listening to Mýa’s first CD, she realized she wanted to be in the music industry anyway she could; with her goals set at 7 years old. After singing and winning at local talents shows and participating in choir, C.Nichole moved to Southern California. At 11 years old, C.Nichole began songwriting; later discovering music by Maria Mena and Amy Winehouse led her to realize that there was no politically correct way to write a song. This led her to produce 1,100 songs before her junior year of high school. As a hobby, C.Nichole wrote words out of the dictionary to increase her songwriting vocabulary.
While majoring in marketing at the University of Houston, C.Nichole seized the opportunity to intern at one of the “Big 3″ record labels during her time there. Taking all the knowledge she learned, C.Nichole started her own music publishing company. After demoing tracks for artists and getting feedback from labels, she realized that no one understood her sound and songwriting style, and decided to go about music alone; founding her own record label and becoming the singer in the duo group, Apollo’s Interlude. After the group disbanded, she continued on as an Urban Pop artist.
In 2014 C.Nichole released her 90’s and early 00’s R&B influenced album, “Coup d’Etat”. Her debut album landed singles such as “In My Dreams” and “Why” on internet radio stations on 3 different continents. “Hope You Hear This (On The Radio)” received FM radio play throughout America, while “Every Day” and “(Just Keep) You Hold On Me” caught the attention of college radio. In 2015 C.Nichole released the EP, “Acoustically C.Nichole: Coup d’Etat”, and then the “Texas Chick” EP in 2017. After having visited 79 countries by the beginning of 2019, C.Nichole finally found a way to combine her passion for music with her love for travel with 3 volumes of “Christin SanDiego” EPs. She stayed true to her Urban Pop roots and melodic songwriting skills, with songs and music videos that take you around the world. In 2021, C.Nichole decided to mix Southern American beats with African grooves and percussion to create the genre Tribal Trill, which flourish throughout the 4 volumes of “Pan African Think Tank” EPs. Paying homage to people of African descent, C.Nichole combines historical knowledge and exudes Pan Africanism throughout her lyrics.
