If you aren't familiar with R&B singer/songwriter


Nikia, then you most certainly need to, not just as a
vocalist but a powerhouse in the indie music scene
as well as prominent businesswoman making major
moves. Nikia dropped the sonically potent musical
anthology NO FAIRYTALE in 2019, which contained
the viral hit classic singles "Sexin'," "Do U," "FFF,"
and "Truth Syrum" featuring Wo-Billz among many
other solid tracks and she is already off to a
promising start in 2020. Nikia has been singing and
writing songs for years as it comes to her naturally,
it's in her blood (she is also the niece of legendary
soul singer Charlie Wilson of The Gap Band). Nikia
also has more plans for the upcoming months by
working on new songs, releasing new videos and
touring with her band. Get more updates on Nikia at
her official website http://www.SoundsOfNikia.com

Purchase her album "No Fairytale" everywhere


music is being sold digitally (Spotify, Deezer, iTunes,
