Three brothers. One group. The mission? World domination. Enter the room, Nicole Jane.
Nicole Jane are a vocal trio consisting of brothers, Jace B Carreira, Alfie-J Carreira, and Dieu Carreira. The three brothers came from a musical background, growing up listening to Soul/Latin/pop music developing a huge thirst to perform and make great music through singing in their local church which groomed the strength and spirit in their vocal approach.
Officially forming as a musical collective in 2006, Nicole Jane capped off the year by winning the best the Official UK Unsigned Contest; a nationwide talent competition each year attracts tens of thousands of musicians across all genres from all over the UK competing to be crowned the best unsigned act in the country.
Following the victory at the Official UK Unsigned Contest, the buzz had started and Nicole Jane were called to support major USA R&B superstars Ne-Yo and Timberland on their UK tours. Multi-platinum selling star Lemar got word of Nicole Jane’s buzz and requested they join him on his UK album tour. NJ were literally blowing away audiences with their high energy shows on stage with their pitch perfect vocals and innovative performances. The climax came after their supporting performance at the legendary Hammersmith Apollo when the venue manager stated "In my 30 years of managing I have not seen such a reception for some major artists let alone a support act, you have truly out classed the main artist". By the end of 2007, Nicole Jane had performed over 500 shows to a combined audience estimated at 550,000 people.
By the time 2008 had started, Nicole Jane’s show stealing reputation had reached Europe where they spent the majority of the year touring all over countries including Russia, Romania, the Czech Republic to name a few, earning the nickname “The Great Nicole Jane” by all who experienced their live shows in the often impossible market to penetrate. 2008 also saw the group rise to even greater heights by being crowned the number one unsigned R&B pop group by MySpace with over 2 million plays on their page. All without a major label push. It’s no wonder that by the end of 2008, Nicole Jane had gone from supporting the headlining acts in Europe to becoming the headline act at festivals across Europe and becoming regulars on European television and radio.
Nicole Jane have made appearances on MTV base and various other music channels. They have received regular airplay from the UK's leading radio stations including Choice FM, Galaxy Network, Kiss FM, Radio 1, 1Xtra and all the leading specialist shows on ILR, Digital, community, URL and pirate radio stations.
Nicole Jane are currently in the studio recording their debut album ‘Searching 4 Nicole’ and will shortly be releasing their new single ‘Is It Me’ to the masses along with a nationwide tour to support the release in autumn 2009. With a no.1 MySpace song reaching over one million plays with ‘From the Heart’ to performing on an international stage independently is nothing short of outstanding. To achieve what Nicole Jane have done in such a short time is simply breathtaking. With a work ethic that is unrivalled, along with flamboyant showmanship and soulful vocal delivery all supported by great songs, it’s no wonder Nicole Jane say they want to be remembered as three brothers who sang and did everything ‘From the Heart’…
