Nicki Gillis is an extraordinary vocalist with the ability to capture her audience’s attention and mesmerise them with every note.
Originally from Western Australia, Nicki spent her youth in school choirs and performing at local events. At the age of 12 she won a scholarship to the Johnny Young Talent School in Perth and by 16 was a professional backing vocalist for national touring acts visiting Western Australia. After years of performing in various theatre productions and song and dance troupes Nicki joined professional Rock and Blues bands performing three to four times a week for four years including 12 months with Western Australia’s premier party band.
In 1992 Nicki co-founded the award winning six piece Country Rock band “Buckshot Dolly” which toured extensively throughout Western Australia and across the country.
Capitalizing on her skills and experience, in 1993 Nicki established Harmony School of Voice and Music where, over the next few years, hundreds of students were able to benefit from her vast wealth of knowledge.
In 1996 Nicki sold her share of the business to concentrate on developing her own career which, among other things, included performing in numerous cabaret shows in and around Queensland’s Surfers Paradise. During the same year she had a successful debut as a solo artist winning the prestigious Gympie Muster Talent Search.
In 1997 her self titled EP was released in Australia, From this came the song “Hittin’ That Highway”, Nicki’s first international release. The following few years saw Nicki developing her song writing skills, producing live musical theatre and performing at corporate events including the opening ceremony of the Women’s World Hockey Championships in front of an international television audience to over 16 countries.
After moving away from Western Australia to concentrate on relaunching her national presence from Sydney she recorded her second EP which included the European 2 hit “On The Mountain”.
2006 saw Nicki’s first international tour to the Middle East where she performed to thousands of coalition troops assisting in the rebuilding of Iraq. Between her constant touring, Nicki presented the daily drive program on Australia’s Cool Country Radio.
The 2007 release of her long awaited debut album “Lucy’s Daughter” was much appreciated by her increasing number of fans. Three Australian top ten singles have come from the album; the first Australian single, “Leavin’ You for Myself” reached 7 in the Australian charts and 6 in the UK Country charts.
The single “Honey I Don’t Have Time” reached 6 in Australia while the latest single “Be a Star” is currently gaining radio airplay across the globe.
With continual local, domestic and international touring over the past few years, and the charting success of “Lucy’s Daughter”, Nicki’s performances have evolved into productions that ensure all audiences, no matter if in large or intimate venues, receive the best possible entertainment. Nicki exudes class and has a star quality that engages audiences from many different demographics and musical genres.
Her other awards, including the 2006 Blue Mountains Blues/Jazz Music Award, the 2007 Horsham Independent Female Artist of the Year, Open Album of the Year and the 2007 Coopers Golden Saddle Award, all demonstrate the industry acceptance of Nicki’s talent.
In the past twelve months, Nicki has also garnered a great deal of positive press including two appearances on the Australian Nine Network’s premier variety show “Mornings with Kerrie-Anne”, a full page spread in Sydney’s largest circulation newspaper, “The Sunday Telegraph”, and most recently was requested to make a celebrity appearance at Steve Irwin’s Australia Zoo.
Nicki Gillis is a quality singer and entertainer with a wealth of experience gained within Australia and overseas. Her chart success and industry recognition clearly demonstrate her broad public appeal.
Hey Nicki, I'm looking for the new footage of Wildflowers, can't find it. Have you let anyone know about your Uncle Ben? Does he have an English passport?
