Nikki Allen was born January 7th in Chicago, IL. She displayed singing and gymnastics talents at the early age of three years old. Her musical and athletic gifts spawned numerous awards and accolades throughout her childhood and adolescence.
While showcasing her five octave vocal range as well as musicianship as a flutist, Nikki’s gymnastics career blossomed, which resulted in an opportunity to train for the U.S. Olympic team. Her path to the Olympics was short-circuited due to an injury sustained during practice. Disappointed but not disillusioned, Nikki re-channeled her focus to her first love…music. She performed talent shows, showcases, and any other venue that allowed her to pursue her burning desire to perform.
On the recording end, Nikki has performed several songs penned by staff writers at EMI, Chrysalis Publishing and Universal Records. She’s had the opportunity to work with producers Darryl Simmons and Al B. Sure! Her voice was also featured on album projects such as Michael Speaks, Time Warner’s Looney Tunes “Loveable Lullabies”, Time Warner’s “Animaniacs Singalong”, and Hanna Barbera’s “Friends”. Ms. Allen also sang the “Lola Bunny Song” in the Michael Jordan movie, “Space Jam” and appeared on Orpheus Records artist, Ren’s self-entitled CD.
As a songwriter, she’s teamed up with jazz great Jeff Lorber, producers Zack Harmon & Chris Troy (Janet Jackson), Tony Haynes (Chante Moore), Oji Pierce (Montell Jordan), Gee Gee Harbour (Destiny’s Child), Stanley Jones (K-Ci and JoJo), The Key Pushas (Keith Sweat).
In 1998, after completing a six month tour in Asia, Nikki went back to Chicago and started a new record label, Flavors Entertainment, Inc., which eventually evolved into NikSound Entertainment, Inc. She secured a major distribution deal with Private I/PolyGram Records and was set to release her own album project that year. The first single, “What About Me” debuted on WGCI, Chicago and quickly became a requested song by listeners.
Nikki later returned to Los Angeles ready to begin the quest once again, as she teamed up with artist Jon B. and hit the road, not only as a singer but as a musician as well and also went back into the studio to record.
Currently, Nikki's album project 'The One' is available at your local record store and on over 50 digital download companies including iTunes and Rhapsody.
Lastly, but definitely not least, Nikki is recording her second album project, in which she is once again writing and producing with various well-known producers, including PaJam.
Nikki Allen is undoubtedly a rare talent. With her vision close at hand, she is destined to become one of the most influential and successful women of our time.
