Fire & Desire Tour: Russell Taylor & Kimberly Nichole
Kimberly Nichole
"..a superhero hybrid of Aretha Franklin vocals with Bono stage presence." Rolling Stone
Largely recognized as the mistress of magic and mayhem at The Box London/New York and as a finalist on The Voice USA (Team Christina Aguilera), rock/dirty soul artist Kimberly Nichole (Kim*Nicky) has been ripping stages for over a decade.
Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, her sound was shaped by the groundbreaking grunge music of her hometown and the southern blues and rock n’ roll roots of her parents.
After spreading her wings and leaving Seattle as a teen, her journey led her to New York city where she made a name for herself on the underground music scene and in nightlife.
As a songwriter, her original music has been featured in tv and film (NETFLIX, MTV, VH1, Showtime), and she has shared stages with Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Slash (Guns N Roses), Nancy Wilson (Heart), and Joe Walsh (the Eagles), Ledisi, Christina Aguilera, Kehlani, Cory Henry, Janelle Monae and more.
Kimberly Nichole’s voice, fierce showmanship, beauty and style has led her to being featured in VOGUE Magazine, Vanity Fair and even in an international Coca-Cola commercial. She made her Broadway debut in 2018, where the New York Times praised her performance in the limited engagement of ROCKtopia. Additionally, she was cast as the Gypsy/Acid Queen in the ROCK opera "The Who’s TOMMY" at the JohnF. Kennedy Center of Performing Arts: Broadway Series (Washington, DC).
Now residing in London, Kimberly Nichole (Kim*Nicky) continues to perform on stages worldwide and is finishing her project with Grammy Award Winning songwriter/producers Chuck Harmony and Claude Kelly (Bruno Mars, Miley Cyrus, Adam Lambert, Corinne Bailey Rae, Bono) set for release in 2024.
