This year Nicolette has performed along side the likes of
Pixie Lott and the Dolly Rockers together with the likes of Will Young,
Motorhead, The Stranglers, Imelda May at Guilfest.
Nicolette Street's love for music began
after being sent to boarding school at the age of 10 to a school which was named
the ‘School of Rock’ by the Times Newspaper. Bedales has also delivered to the
wall of fame the likes of Lily Allen, Daniel Day-Lewis, Minnie Driver,
the Kooks’ Luke Pritchard, Kirstie Allsopp, Viscount Linley and Sophie Dahl.
This school encouraged creativity and helped to develop her music from an early
age and she performed before audiences of 200+ from the age of 11.
She worked with musicians who had been involved with Renaissance, Madonna, Roberta Flack and the like.
While in the US she gave the premier performance of the album in Foxwoods, Connetticutt. This is the US's largest Indian Reservation casino, which graced the likes of Taylor Dayne, Blondie and BB King while she performed there.
The performance had such success that the casino immediately requested Nicolette back and a 2nd performance was schedules just 2 weeks later to the original.
She moved her music career back the UK following this success choosing to focus on the UK market.
In October 05 sung
with Anastacia through a competition she had won through Sony BMG and Capital,FM
Since then she has worked with a number of individuals and had a number of successful singles.
Nicolette has just written music with a couple of very prominent funk DJs 'BENZO'. She is currently working on some new material with them and will be headlining
at one of their club nights 'REVIVE'.
A few months ago she completed work on backing vocals for Hazel O'Connor's new album, this being produced with Martin Rushent.
Martin is the genius producer behind the artists, to name a few, Human League, Altered Images, Stranglers, T'Pau, Hazel O'Connor, Shirley Bassey & she is currently working with him on his new album.
She was spotted by BUSFACE & asked to feature with them on their next single, (Busface's last single was released with Sophie Ellis Bextor, which hit number one in some European countries.)
She has also just worked with the producer Paul Boddy, who co-wrote & co-produced Mel C's new album's title track 'Beautiful Intentions'.
She has recorded an album with Klub Kidz for Klone Records, on release in all record stores and called "X-Cite". This album hit number 2 in the European Dance Charts.
This is one review recently found on a discussion forum "oh my god the samples are fantastic and the vocals in When You Tell Me That You Love Me and Because Of You, what a voice hope to hear loads more from Nicolette Street ."
She has recorded for Dave Lee aka Joey Negro. Any hard hitting dance lovers will know this DJ inside out and back to front. Dave Lee is both a successful Artist, Producer, Remixer , Arranger, Songwriter and DJ, he's been the producer of choice for artists and Record companies the world over. One of the UK’s first heavyweight dance producers, Dave’s skills have led him to work with some of the brightest and biggest names in music. Diana Ross, Lionel Richie, Artful Dodger, the Sugababes, Take That , the Pet Shop Boys, Mariah Carey,
and Seal.
Having recorded for many producers Nicolette decided that
it was high time that she start pushing her own compositions more and knowing
that everyone always requests that she sings Anastacia, Kelly Clarkson, Pink and
KT Tunstall. Well she has come to the conclusion that that is definitely the
style of music that best suits her voice and more over that she enjoys singing.
She has therefore strapped a guitar on her back most recently and is playing and
singing just so people realize that she isn’t ‘just a singer’. She is fortunate
enough to have working with her some fantastic musicians at the moment for the
recording of her 2nd album and dare she say it one of the writers and
producers of Ace of Base is gigging with her regularly and producing her songs..
What more could she ask for other than a great rock pop sound together with some
memorable hooks that no one is going to forget in a hurry. The best thing to
see is people singing along to a song that they are hearing for the first time
because then you know you are onto a winner. If you have seen Nicolette
performing at the Prides this year you would have heard her own work and people
are waiting eagerly for the release of the second album which will be out soon.
