DJ Nickiee (b. 1980) DJ/Actress

DJ Nickiee ("Nickiee") was raised in Inglewood, California. As an exceptional student, she received scholarships to attend the Center for Early Education in West Hollywood, CA and the historic all-girls, college prepartory school, Marlborough, in Los Angeles, CA. In her youth, she was a student at Marla Gibb's Crossroads Academy for acting and was represented by Tony Kellman & Arletta. Nickiee was also a stellar athlete in track and soccer, qualifying for State Championships in the 400m dash and setting school records in the 200m dash. In 1998, she graduated New York University with a B.A. in Economics, and later received her Juris Doctorate from the University of Denver in 2003. Music always molded Nickiee's life. As an avid "hip-hop head," she has collected music since New York hip-hop was played on Los Angeles' KDAY AM radio station during a time where the New York sound had not penetrated the West Coast market. Her music knowledge base music extends beyond her years, attending Michael Jackson, Rick James, and George Benson concerts since the age of 3 with her youthful mother whose vinyl and eight tracks heavyly influenced Nickiee's love for music, especially R&B classics.

In her college years, Nickiee was a frequent visitor at NYU's 89.1 FM show, "New York Live," which broke such artists as Jay-Z, the Fugees, Capone n Norega, and the Wutang Clan to name a few. She constantly watched Mayhem of Young World Music Group and DJ Riz of Crooklyn Clan on the turntables, but female deejays were not taken seriously at that time. Over the past decade, Nickie has focused on her legal studies but continued to develop her musical ear and is frequently asked by reowned producers and rappers about her thoughts regarding their music because her appreciation, love, and knowledge of hip-hop is profound. After transitioning an age old hobby into a career, Nickiee is destined to be one of the most recognized and technically skilled female DJs in the world and more.

Currently, DJ Nickiee is currently represented by Everly Lee of Global Artists Group, formally of the William Morris Agency. In addition, she has several mixtapes in production. Furthermore, she has been summoned by one of the best hip-hop producers to help with A&R duties.

Nickiee continues to add accolades; therefore this biography is to be continued...
