LEARN, Refine, CREATE

Nikki teaches upright bass, electric bass, guitar, drums, piano, songwriting, production, music theory, music history, philosophy of music, and sound meditation.
Independent FOCUS
Core Values
The motivations, challenges, and trajectories of independent artists are as varied as the music in the scene itself. One of Nikki’s core values is solidarity among artists to reclaim power from corporate strongholds. As a producer, they understand how to guide, support, and respect each project’s individual process while fostering creative freedom.
Nikki has written, recorded, and toured with artists like ELSZ, Tubafresh, Alex Bleeker & The Freaks, Fielded, iT Boy, Lamb Rabbit, and Dane.Zone.
Social Impact
Nikki is passionately committed to the idea that music can make an important impact in our communities, both directly and indirectly. From tuition-free music classes to fundraising and outreach, the groups they partner with make a tremendous impact on the people they serve.
