Nikki Stringfield

from Metal Queens Podcast · host Steve Richards

Nikki Stringfield isn’t such a small town Texas girl anymore. After moving to Los Angeles in 2012, she interned at Warner Brothers Music and graduated from The University of Texas with a degree in Radio/TV/Film and a minor in business. She quickly joined forces with popular tribute band The Iron Maidens and has been touring the world with them ever since. The Iron Maidens have been featured on AXS TV’s “The World’s Greatest Tribute Bands” and have recently toured in support of rock legends Accept throughout Europe and Zakk Wylde’s tribute, Zakk Sabbath, to thunderous crowds across the United States. In 2019, Nikki joined Los Angeles based rockers Heaven Below, and also decided to venture into the role of fronting her own solo band. She released her first EP, “Harmonies For The Haunted,” taking on lead vocals and songwriting in addition to lead guitars. The Rock Music Alliance awarded the song “Haunted” with “Best Production” and “Best Female Vocal Performance” in the metal genre. This album was followed by her full length debut, “Apocrypha,” in 2023, which landed many glowing reviews and top ten lists in addition to “Indie Artist of the Year” for 2024. After opening for John 5 and several acoustic residencies at the Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood, Nikki and her husband Patrick Kennison toured acoustically in support of Marty Friedman on the 2025 Live Drama Tour. Nikki now resides in Dallas, TX when she isn’t touring around the world and is currently working on the upcoming Heaven Below album, “The Majestic Twelve,” which will be released in the Summer of 2025. Nikki has been featured in countless publications such as Guitar World and Guitar Girl Magazine, and now has two signature Schecter Guitars that bear her name. #nikkistringfield #ironmaidens #ironmaidenfans #metalqueen #metalfans
