about
Nikita crafts music that is honest, confident, and mature. Not afraid to speak her mind, she introduces a tension between nostalgia and modernity on “Elegance.” As she penned the lead single off her forthcoming “Clearly Misunderstood” EP, she examined the juxtaposition between entering adulthood and the carelessness of being a free-spirited youth. Hinged with guitar, piano, and drums, the song showcases Nikita’s rich, lower-register vocals that call to mind influences like Lana Del Rey and Phoebe Bridgers. To date, Nikita has written over 200 songs. Most of her songs carry a theme of longing, she says. “I like songs that are evocative, that are relatable, universal, yet ambiguous, I love a clever lyric,” she says. “I have always been inspired by artists that embody that; The 1975, St Vincent, Arctic Monkeys, Leonard Cohen, etc. Quite the variety.” Nikita is poised to make a dent in music this year.
