Nikki Jay: Bio

Nikki Jay started singing all genres of music from classical and rock to pop and country from the early age of 11. It all started in a pizza joint in a western suburb of Boston, where a waitress heard her singing a pop tune and recommended that she begin voice lessons right away. Although very young to start formal voice training, she was accepted as a student by Tambre Tarleton-Knox of Hudson MA and who she still trains with today. By the time she was 13, she was focused on becoming a singer-songwriter and recording artist before she broke out of her teens. When vocalist, songwriter and producer Cari Cole of Cari Cole Voice and Music Co. in New York City, an award-winning singer-songwriter, producer and vocal coach to Grammy winners (Chrisette Michelle/Def Jam Records, Donald Fagen/Steely Dan); American Idol Finalists (Kimberley Locke); legendary rock stars (Courtney Love, Jonathon Cain/Journey); and newcomer S-Curve recording artist Diane Birch among many others, first met Nikki Jay, at 13 years old, Cole was taken by the deep burgundy colored mezzo tone coming out of such a young girl and the indescribable passion that lived behind her young eyes.
