An independent album inspired by my passion for Argentine tango, gypsy jazz, and jazz vocalists like Melody Gardot, Madeleine Peyroux, and the wonderful Ella Fitzgerald. 

A twirl into the unknown world of music production and song writing with beautiful friends who have guided me, enchanted me, taught me, and occasionally even totally revolutionised my thought process along the way.

Over The Hillside

L'Amore è Dentro

Byron's Message

A Meet Cute

A violin inspired improvisation on my interpretation of some aspects of the story of the Red Shoes from Clarissa Esté's, 'Women Who Run with the Wolves.' 

Using violin, effects pedals, looping, and vocals, Niki has created a video with some dance and video effects to highlight her live performance at the Clocktower Centre.

Dancing was filmed at Melbourne Salsa and the performance was filmed at the Clocktower Centre, Moonee Ponds.
