It was there that she met Brother Benjamin Wright, who saw her potential and became her mentor. With the work she’s done with Sterling Silver Productions and the mentorship of Benjamin Wright, Nikki is prepared for a quantum leap into her career. 
 
“My goal is that when you hear my music, you’ll hear a versatile, eclectic artist. I enjoy and identify with many musical genres from R&B-Hip Hop, techno and dance to alternative and contemporary. I feel that many have forgotten what the art of music really is, not one pigeon hole or another but the grand tapestry of MUSIC. "
