Interview:
How did you get into music?
I grew up singing at a very young age because my mom was a singer. I guess
it was in my genes. I grew up listening to Selena and after she pased I started
performing her songs down in Venice and I was on the Jenny Jones show and
pretty soon after that I was perfoming at local city fairs and events and
they coined me "teeny weeny selena".
Who's your favorite singers?
My favorite singers are Selena, Whitney Houston, Prince, and Beyonce
Who's your favorite rappers?
My favorite rappers are DJ Quik, Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes, and Eminem
What is Brik House Entertainment all about?
Brik House is an independent label with major label feel. We have a lot of
great people working with us and we definitely plan on expanding once I start
my tour and we get my album out there.
What other artists are on that label?
Currently I am the only artist signed but we will definitely be looking for
some more talented people to help out in the future.
You
recently opend up for Keshia Cole, How was that?
Opening up for Keyshia Cole at the Kodak was awesome. The crowd and the energy
was awesome. I know I will be back there but this time it will be my show
and I will have other artists opening up for me.

a set date?

have El Presidente aka Memin el Penguin and Jon Tez on my album
What's the message you're putting out with this album?
The message on my album is an introduction to what Nikki is all about. I wrote
most of the songs so you really get a feel for what I am about. The songs
are fresh and new and I think people will really like it.
Will there be a video for your lead single?
We are doing 2 videos, the first will be for my single "Ride With It"
and the next one is a surprise.

were spotted in a Kilo AKA Down video..

Love Too but that one I actually sing on. I am also on 2 other tracks on Down
AKA Kilo's album. I am going to be working with Young Brown and Ese Daz as
