News Update Feb 2006: Nicole will be performing at Sight And Sound in Lancaster Pa indefinitely. She will also have another CD coming out soon. For those of you who got a copy of her CD at the Annapolis Oktoberfest, hold on to them because they will be collectors items.

News update October 2005: Nicole appeared at the Annapolis Oktoberfest in Annapolis Md on October 2nd. I got to spend more time with Nicole than any fan of her could wish for. I must say that she is one of the nicest people I have ever met.

If you were at the Annapolis Oktoberfest and thought you saw her but weren't sure. It wasn't your imagination.

Scott.

    Sept. 2004: I finally got a chance to actually listen carefully to her sing. I would love to hear her do "Power Of Love".

    I could significantly reduce the size of these files but decided to leave them in all their glory. If I had the original audio or she was in a studio then the sound would be 10, actually 100 times better.

    I am hoping that she will record songs on her own and publish herself. With today's low cost technology, anyone can easily record their own music and publish it on the web. I believe Kazza has a feature where you can sell your songs through their service. I would like for her to do a good remake of "The Power Of Love" by the late Laura Branigan where she did a music video in the late 80s that was fantastic. Nicole if you read this please consider doing some cover songs.

      Since the interview, Nicole didn't make it to the "Wild Card" process on the (2004) show where contestants are given a second chance, this means that she is not on the show. However you can show your support by posting in message forums and leaving messages with web masters to be forwarded to her encouraging her to continue her pursuit of music. Hopefully she will either get a recording contract or self publish, I purposely mention both options because both are available today.

    Update: Technically she is eligible to audition for the 2005 season. I have no idea if she will audition again or not.

    If you have a message for Nicole please feel free to send it to me and I will make sure that she gets it. I recently talked to her and she thanked me for forwarding messages. You can also go here and find a link to a message forum that she regularly visits and moderates one of the threads.

    If you would like to hire Nicole for an event, she may be available depending on the timing and location.  Send me as much information as possible and I will pass it on.

    Nicole was the voice for the animated character Akane Aikawa (kind of cute) on the series Magic User's Club, produced by Crystal Acids http://www.crystalacids.com/database/actor/tieri_nicole.html

    There is no charge for this service and it is a great way to promote your favorite talent. However I do need some lead time to make the necessary arrangements.
