Download my EP from http://nikkilynette.bandcamp.com so that I can afford to keep making good music instead of shitty music. Thank you.
i kinda rock. i do music (sing, rap, write, produce.) it's fun as hell. i draw and paint and sculpt and do graphic design and make jewelry, too. so yeah, i got your baby's momma beat by a long shot. i hate polite people who sacrifice authenticity for "getting along" and people who catch an attitude quicker than me. i love food with lots of curry, free styling in cyphers, Family Guy, The Office, high heels, lipstick, and any book on Carl Jung (fuck Freud.) i am normal. everybody else is weird ;-)
You can be my friend if...
... if you think i am cute or at least relatively entertaining, if u don't have any bullcrap advice on how my music should sound (how the hell YOU gonna tell me how to do ME???), if u know who Bill Withers is, if u are a dope ass girl who gets along with other dope ass girls, thereby increasing MY dopeness, or an aspiring dope ass girl that just needs some love and support from a friend, if u are a hot guy who doesn't love them hoes, if u have an addiction to cartoons that borders on unhealthy, if u think Cree Summer's first album was fresh and u know the words to "Curious White Boy," and if u promise not to make me listen to Dream Theater... then we can be cool.
i do voice overs for commercials and i write them, too. and i co-host a tv show. and i sell songs, do arrangements, and produce vocal sessions for other artists, too (mostly rappers).
and i am a Pop Astronaut who travels the distance of 60 million light-years to the majestic spiral galaxy NGC 4414 to buy Mac Lip Glass and knock off Balenciaga Bags for a discounted price. don't judge me.
