Hi everyone! Thanks for welcoming me so warmly to ShoutLife!
I am a professional singer/song writer. Although, my music is not Christian music, as such, I am a very strong Christian. My songs are positive or just about life and what it can bring and how, as a Cristian, it can be lived to the fullest.
Below is my biography and some quotes from people who believe in my music.
"Nia has a compassion in her delivery that is beautiful and unique...Very smooth and classy." Quote from Todd Mark Rubenstein a Grammy nominated Nashville based composer, musician and producer. ~TMR Productions.
"Nia's voice elicits dark and moody feelings from an ancient past." Quote by Terry McNeal a Contemporary Christian Rock singer/songwriter.~TMAC Productions
Nia has a signature voice. If you've heard her once you will know her. She has a passion and soulfulness in her voice that have an emotional impact, creating a variety of feelings in her listeners. She can make you cry or make you feel like you own your world with ethereal heights that are intangible as air.
Nia began her career with a demo contract at East Avalon Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. She sang backup on an album recorded for Terry McNeal which was produced by Jack Holder and Eli Ball at 'Sounds Unreel' studio in Memphis, TN. She has been recognized and given inspiration by Roseanne Cash, Suzy Nolen, backup singer for Miami Sound Machine, Don Daily, producer at 'Fame' Studio's in Muscle Shoals, AL and most recently by Todd Mark Rubenstein, TMR Productions, Nashville, TN. While living in Santa Barbara, Cali she became the lead female vocalist for the 'Brian Faith Band' with former members from the 'The Strawberry Alarm Clock Band'.
A WORD TO ALL MY FRIENDS:
After losing my husband, Mike, in a car accident in November of 2004, 'I took a new path to understanding my own life and looking towards the future by immersing myself in my music and letting God "take the wheel." I moved to Wilmington, NC in the summer of 2005 and immediately began preparing my original writings and looking for support in the local music scene. I've was given this voice as a gift for a reason and have now come to understand that I'm to share with others the power of emotional healing through the vibration of song." I have recently begun performances in the local Wilmington, NC and surrounding area music scene and am expecting to release my first cd, self titled 'nia in by the end of 2007.
I want to thank all my friends that have been supporting me, with all my heart. To all my new ShoutLife friends, thanks for taking an interest in me and my music. If you'll just stick with me I promise I will pull a rabbit out of this hat!!!!
