Nicole Marie (AKA Nicola Rapley) hails from Manchester, England where she has grown up loving to sing, dance and perform from a very young age, This affinity only came to light at the age of 16 where she took up the Opportunity to join a soul group called "Moving the river".



This is where she got her first experience and real exposure from gigging at pubs and clubs alike, singing the classic tunes of Aretha Franklin. The joys of these experiences made her realise this is where she wanted to be. on stage singing. Sadly this group fell apart.



By the time she has had reached 19 years old, she found that she had joined a total of 4 groups, which included an RnB group managed by the founder of Suga babes and All Saints. All these adventures did not work out for her. Even an attempted opportunity to kick off her solo career with top producers e.g. .Skillz producer of Big Brothers and Jonathan Shalit eventually fell through.



At 22 yrs of age she got a phone call from Benji Whytepatch, CEO of Erra Records. The first project was to record and perform a charitable single campaigning against speed driving. It was organised by the London Transport and Saba.org.



This project is included in a compilation, which is currently being played around all schools. During the recording of this charitable project, Benji realised the unique talent of Nicole. As he says, "Its her humbleness, her dedication and passion to be a successful artist…. That captivated him. Now at 23, Nicole Marie and Benji Whytepatch have since been creating the music she believes in
