<p>"<em>Nicole Is not only a beautiful singer, but also a joy to work with in the studio.&nbsp;She brings great performances on the first take, but is sensitive&nbsp;enough to ask for direction in order to get the perfect blend of inspiration and purpose in the final take. Nicole digs deep within and gives a performance that not only nails the melody, but the emotion as well and that is the absolute best you can ask for in a vocalist</em>." - <strong>Chris Karn</strong> Producer/General Public)</p>
<p>"<em>I have hired Nicole quite a bit lately to sing harmony vocals for film soundtracks and albums I'm working on. I love working with her. She comes up with harmonies with ease and they are always great! She is on the top of my list to call</em>."</p>
