   About Nicole Nelson
Nicole Nelson proves herself to be every bit as ground breaking as her many influences. Evoking a sound that is wise beyond her years, she delivers blues, R&B, rock, and classic soul with the kind of passion that changes the listener. Hurts and heals. Possessing a natural voice that caresses like honey and burns like a blaze, swooping from the most delicate whisper to an explosion of soulful passion, Nicole stands upon the shoulders of the all-time greats while forging her own way toward music history. Born in Brooklyn, NY into a very artistic family, Ms Nelson was raised by an Irish & Norwegian American Father, and a Trinidadian born mother. Having grown up in the midst of one of the world’s richest cultural melting pots, Nicole found herself deeply in love with the music, fine art, literature and poetry, which always surrounded her. It was there that she began weaving the threads of the great classics into a tapestry of her own style; unmistakably fresh and new. Often compared to the likes of Eva Cassidy, Donny Hathaway, Gladys Knight, & Erykah Badu, it seems that Nicole’s sound is well interpreted by both young and old, black and white and everyone in between. Her music is familiar like your favorite song, and at the same time, like nothing you’ve ever heard before. With a recent move to back to New York City, Nicole finds herself again in the very place that set her creative force in motion. A change that is evident by the new shades of complexcity in her music, the depth of her voice, her songs. As todays turbulent music industry thrashes and grasps for the "next big thing" it seems that it is only a matter of time before someone shines a very bright light on this very gifted young woman.

Chelsea (12 years old) performs Beethoven and Chopin at a church. Different musicians got together to share each others talents. It’s normally called a shed. Chelsea thought it was comical to hear other musicians reacting to her performance. Check it out.

The 5TH Jewel

THOUGHTS BECOME THINGS*Jewel*
What is going on in life is the evolution of the individual to complete oneness with the Secret Self. The universal being that lies behind creation has differentiated into finite form, taken dis­guise, so to speak, in order to work out the manifold sides of its in­finite and eternal nature. Therefore the man who expands his con­sciousness is fulfilling the fondest wish of life. It is not neces­sary that we become saints to understand as much of the Secret Self as is necessary to use its power in our affairs. To know this law is enough: whatever we accept as a permanent mental image in our consciousness must man­ifest in our world, for we become in life what we are in con­sciousness, and nothing can alter that fact.
