Irreverent Hip-Hop ⚡️ Signed to Tommy Boy Entertainment ⚡️ Dial 7 if you wit it ⚡️ 


Imagine the musical love child of Tina Turner, Lady Gaga and Prince. With NYC setting the stage for inspiration, struggle and heartbreak. Niki Darling’s life and journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. Attending Professional Performing Arts School in NYC prepared and gave her the training and thick skin she needed for the entertainment industry. She became the front woman for Hip-Hop band “Pants Velour” performing all over NYC gaining a following and selling out local venues they eventually signed with Tommy Boy Records. Pants Velour received over 6 million views on YouTube for their original commercial jingles with Dial 7 Car and Limousine Service, “We’re Picking You Up” and “Mobile App for Dial 7”.

Niki was offered the chance to perform abroad in Morocco for the winter of 2016 and she jumped at the opportunity to travel and escape the brutal NYC winter. That short contract eventually landed her another gig performing in Beijing, and Shenzhen China and then various gigs in the U.K. She eventually turned traveling overseas and performing into a full-time profession. 

She also has been featured on various Dance/EDM tracks charting on Billboard, iTunes and Beatport with hundreds of thousands of fans dancing to her songs at Ultra (Miami) and Creamfields (U.K) music festivals and Playa D’en Bossa, and Eden in Ibiza. Her features "Something In Our Life" and “Everything I Need” with Maxinne were huge summer hits in 2018 after releasing on Toolroom and Knee Deep in Sound Records. Her features “To The Music” and “Fill Me Up” have reached over 100k streams on Spotify.  "Done", Niki’s first feature with Ryan Skyy, features a remix by Grammy-winning producer Dave Aude. 

Her current music video "Take You There" is a visual journey of her travels around the world. Traveling has given her a new outlook on life, her music, and healing to help others overcome struggle through finding your true passion. Her current single features three remixes from The Melody Men from the U.K, Johnny Bass from Brazil and Black Silence also from the U.K. She is currently working on releasing her debut LP in the spring of 2021.

New single "DDR" is out now on ANTI- Records
