Anita Nicol Wells affectionately known as NiNi began singing at the tender age of four. With a unique vocal style she moves easily from Gospel, Jazz, Pop and R&B. "I know that I was truly born to sing! I thank my Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ for all the many gifts and talents he has bestowed upon me. If it had not been for him, my immediate and extended family, and close friends- I don't know where I would be. My aunt & mother Minister Deborah Pritchard Stevenson is the one who introduced me to Christ and has instilled countless attributes to my life! I recorded my first 45 album, song entitled, "I Am Going to a Place", at the age of seven with her community group - The Pritchard Ensemble. Since then, they've recorded three other projects, "I Found the Answer", "I'll be Alright" - songwriter for "God Will" and "Satisfied" & newest released independent cd project "Call my Friend" - co-writer for song entitled "Well Done".
