Creator to Creators S4 Ep 21 NIKKA

https://www.musicbynikka.com/NIKKA is Kansas-City-based, Tampa-raised, Eastern European refugee who moved to the States in the early 2000’s. I was always singing as a kid and credit it as one of the main ways I picked up English quickly. (Although, I had a few mishaps, like singing Ludacris’s “Move B***h” as a 5-year-old when I wanted people out of my way at the pool.) Though I've loved singing my whole life, I didn't start seriously writing songs until the pandemic hit and I spent most of my days inside humming the same melodies to myself. Being a storyteller at heart, I started the explore the idea of creating songs to process my feelings about situations that I didn't say the right thing in the moment it mattered. Music has become my way of filling in the gaps of life experiences and moving forward.I grew up listening to all genres, but Mariah Carey, Shakira, Taylor Swift, My Chemical Romance, and Green Day were some favorite inspirations that can be found in my music. I hope you take a moment to connect with my songs and share them if they've had an impact on you.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.
