SHYNICOLE Making Waves in the Music Industry

● If you could choose, where would you see yourself by the end of 2023?
By the end of 2023 if I stay focus motivated and consistent I’ll be on tour and I know that’s a fact. I’ve had so many opportunities GOD thrown to me but I just never believed in myself. And I know it’s possible ! I know it can be done people chasing they dreams everyday. I know I’m going to blow I just don’t know when that’s the scary part….
“BUT THAT’S WHY I LOVE TOMORROW”

● An obstacle you overcame or are overcoming when it comes to your music career:
The main obstacle I overcame when it comes to my music career I would say is “Don’t be scared to chase your dreams. Before I started taking my music seriously I always would get caught up thinking about what the next person had to say.
And it always held me back cause I always thought about the critics first. I never thought about the good people see and hear or like in my music. I always tell myself now making these songs and making music hit different for me because this really my dream. I’m not rapping just for the chains ,money ,cars , & clothes because all that gone come. I make music and write music because I love it and I’ll always love it music really helps me cope.

● When did your music career begin and what events inspired it to start?
My Music Career started when I was about 9 years old. I entered a talent show at my elementary school rapping and the kids went crazy. I still remember that day till this day! I grew up around music my whole family has an ear for music. We all can sing ! Growing up I’d always listen to my cousins singing and it inspired me to want to do something music wise. I knew I could rap I just didn’t know how seriously I would take it until I dropped my first single and it went up from there.

● What genre(s) would you describe your music as? (you can also include feelings your music might invoke as well; i.e hyper, calm etc.)
Genre wise I can actually say it’s a mixture of everything. Im a very versatile artist one day I can wake up and make a Turnt / Lit single. The next day I’ll wake up and record an R&B Single. It just depends on how I’m feeling and mood I’m in that day.

● Provide 3 words to describe your music:
3 words to describe my music is
Authentic
Relatable and it’s ME! I feel like that’s the main thing a lot of artist forgot to do when it comes to really making there music ! ALWAYS BE YOURSELF! Staying true to myself got me so far and it opened so more doors without even doing too much.

● Who are your influences/Who have you studied?
Honestly it’s a lot of artist that influenced me in many different ways. But I’ll say the main artist I studied is Latto (Big Latto). From me being an upcoming artist and her being on the rap game and me watching her season and how she went along with her situation after winning that season. It really just opened my eyes to let you know people will and can try to down play you when you really know your full talent , potential and worth. After not signing that deal with what she offered after winning on “THE RAP GAME. She kept rapping! she stayed motivated and kept working as a real INDEPENDENT artist to get where she is now. That kind of inspired me because I’ve ran into multiple situations but when you know your full worth and keep your faith it all plays out good in GODS hand in the end.

●What was your first ever release?
My first ever single was released back in 2019 when I was 19 years old. I recorded this single back in college. This one single is how I started rapping and getting a name for myself
The name of song is called
“Cash out freak” It’s still out now on all platforms

●What is your most recent release?
My most recent single is out now on all platforms it’s called “LICK BACK” which was released 3 months ago!

● Any upcoming projects?
I’m currently working on a lot of singles right now. I have started thinking about a 4 song EP that’s getting arranged once I get my placements for the songs.

● What other experience do you have? (singing, songwriting, production, etc.)
Outside of rapping I am the owner and CEO of “Shy Nicole Beauty! I do have an online clothing boutique where I do resale and wholesale clothing accessories cosmetics & etc! You can follow us on Instagram @shynicolebeauty for the latest and hottest fashion!
