Write On Time

It has been said that “Life imitates Art” but every so often an artist comes along who blurs the lines between the two so gracefully that they become One. Los Angeles born and Mount Shasta based Soul-Pop/R&B artist Niki Tonik doesn’t just make art, she lives it. The American~Israeli singer/songwriter balances her time between writing and recording music and practicing Taoist Tonic Herbalism, a career that has inspired her name as well as her sound. She has curated Toniks {custom healing brews} and other wellness beverages for some notable vegan restaurants in L.A such as Cafe Gratitude and Wild Living Foods. Niki has also served her Toniks to customers such as: Jason Mraz, Ben Affleck, Casey Affleck, Colin Farrell, Travis Barker, Tori Kelly, Randy Jackson, Michael Beckwith, Marianne Williamson, Cedric The Entertainer, Laila Ali, Tasha Smith, Russell Simmons and Rocco DeLuca. Her silky vocals have drawn comparison to Sade from the likes of Babyface, who heard her tunes online and applauded the “richness & emotive tone color” of Niki’s voice, also acknowledging her songwriting as being “excellent.” 

Somewhat of a musical unicorn, Ms. Tonik draws inspiration from reflecting upon the different colors, feelings, and themes of life. Her debut album “Write On Time”, released on 10/10/2020 featuring Kamasi Washington, specifically explores the duality of both Yin and Yang ~ the current state of affairs versus the higher states of consciousness which give hope to a Waking World. Because she is multifaceted and doesn’t just fit in to one specific genre, Niki’s album displays an array of sounds and songs ranging from Pop, R&B/Soul, Rock, Hip-Hop and Jazz.
