Hailing from Nashville, TN, Nicole Nelson is excited to burst on the scene with something new to offer. Her soulful flair expands the traditional pop/rock sound and hosts a universal message. “I want to make music that makes people fall in love with all aspects of life. Some of my music is about things I regret, and some of it is just based on happy memories, but all of it is the story of me learning to follow my own convictions and to find beauty in the aftermath,” says Nelson. Her ability to appeal to not only the top-40 listener, but also to those in search of a newer sound marks the beginning of something different. Even at an early age, Nelson’s love of music was apparent. Studying piano and voice as a child, she eventually learned to play the ukelele, guitar, and drums. Nelson began seriously songwriting in High School. She states, “I would come home from school with song ideas all over my math notes and would just write all night. It was all I thought about.” It became an obsession that follows her to this day. At 22 years of age, Nelson released her single, Hostage, on the fourth of November 2014. It will be the first taste of her full EP, set to release in late fall of this year. Described as the musical love child of Grace Potter, ZZ Ward, and the Tedeschi Trucks Band, Nelson is bound to be a refreshing twist to pop radio listeners everywhere.
