Nikki Taylor Vibe (aka Nikki Taylor) is an American Singer Songwriter, born in Long Island, NY. She's a cross genre artist with a soulful voice and ability to connect deeply with her audience through hypnotic vocals and deep lyrics that tell stories.
Nikki has been a performer from a young age, studying multiple genres of dance from the age of 3, acting in local theater and Off Broadway Theaters, including the historic 13th Street Repertory, from the age of 8. She was offered an opportunity to sing during some of her theater performances and fell in love with singing. Her love of singing eventually took over her free time and lead to a passion for writing songs and eventually independently published her first song at the age of 13, with an up and coming Hip Hop artist from Nevada. That first experience of writing and publishing her own music and connecting with fans through it had Nikki hooked. Nikki’s lyrics and hooks quickly became popular in the hip hop genre and she was asked to write and sing on tracks for several established Hip Hop artists and producers including Rikanatti, Southside, Wheezy, Royce Da 59 and Noco Beats, to name a few.
Her discography and fan-base grew quickly and steadily and by 2015 her vocals had attracted the interest of EDM and House producers. Nikki took the plunge into the House genre when 2 club DJ’s from Spain offered her an opportunity to write and sing on their lead track, which Nikki titled Secrets. Signed to Prospection records, Secrets was released October 2015 and received notable streams and attention in the US and Europe. It was well received on the club scene in Europe spawning numerous remixes and samplings. Shortly after the release of Secrets, Nikki was approached by a well known DJ/Producer duo from the New York club scene to write and sing on 2 House tracks, to be released on Tommy Boy Records. The tracks were titled Love We Have Tonight released December 2015, & Strive released May 2016. They were well received and Nikki's vocals caught the attention of several other labels. Strive became a featured song on Spotify’s Indie Spotlight Dance Playlist, next to tracks by Major Lazer, Dim Mak, M83 & other notable artists.
Nikki went on to release her debut EP Siren in 2020. The EP delivered deeply moving, raw emotions that genuinely resonate with listeners, touching on deep issues, like mental health, addiction, depression, anxiety, as well as empowerment and self-love.
Nikki continued her dynamic momentum releasing 4 other singles, with a 5th single titled “AWOL” on the way, to be accompanied by a music video.
When away from music Nikki's heart is with multiple philanthropic causes she is involved with. Her true passion to become involved and work with worthy causes started young, and in 2016 she was honored with the Town of Hempstead 'Make A Difference Award' for her years of work. She remains involved with several causes, and has a special place in her heart for a local church Respite Program, where she runs the music room for special needs children & adults.
As Nikki continues on her musical journey her dream is to connect with as many people as she can through her music and use her platform to help others therapeutically through the shared love of music.
