Singing wanderer ;)

bio:

Nikita is the eldest of four sisters and has been singing and performing for her friends and family since she can remember.

Nikita is a self – taught keyboard player; she states “I just play what feels good, no rules, no perfection of notes just complete expression and connection”

In 2008 Nikita’s dreams of becoming an international musician came to a sudden stop. She was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis at eighteen. Myasthenia Gravis or MG is a neuromuscular autoimmune disease which caused Nikita to put her dreams of becoming a singer out of reach. She underwent lifesaving treatment which included a procedure called a thymectomy, which did not guarantee to cure her illness. While removing her thymus gland the doctors accidently damaged one of her vocal chords.

Her strong fighting spirit, determination and of course the love and support of her family has made Nikita undefeated by a disease that is easily given into.

These experiences in her life have made her see life in a whole new “broader” light.

Nikita’s unique style of singing has been compared to: Alanis Morissette, Natalie Merchant, “modern day” Cranberries, Sarah McLachlan.

Her love of life, family and friends has caused her to create “Real” music, music anyone can relate to.

“At one point in my life I use to walk around defeated by circumstances I could not control; now I see those challenges as lessons, lessons that made me who I am, a person I am proud to be.”

Nikita’s motto in life is just to “be free.”
