About Nicolette

Nicolette first came to the music world’s attention in 1990, when her collaboration with [[artist:Shut Up & Dance]] led to her first single ‘School of the World/Single Minded People’ becoming a smash, followed by several more dancefloor hits and finally the 1992 release of her critically acclaimed first album ‘Now Is Early.’ She was then approached by [[artist:Massive Attack]], which resulted in her singing on and co-writing two singles ‘Sly’ and ‘Three’ on Massive Attack’s 1994 platinum-selling “Protection” album.

In 1995, Nicolette was signed to [[artist:Gilles Peterson]]’s [[label:Talkin Loud]] label, releasing ‘No Government’, the first single from her new album, the same year. After several more groundbreaking single releases, the album “Let No-one Live Rent Free In Your Head” was released in 1996 and widely hailed as a masterpiece. It was a critical and commercial success, also hitting the dancefloors with a plethora of excellent remixes of each of its singles. In between times, Nicolette collaborated with various respected artists (amongst them [[artist:Plaid]]), on their own projects, released a DJ mix album on [[label:Studio !K7]] and started DJ-ing worldwide, which she still does to this day.

In 1999, Nicolette left Talkin’ Loud to set up her own label, [[label:Early Records]]. Her third album, “Life Loves Us” was released on Early Records in 2005.

Following two singles from “Life Loves Us”, Nicolette released a new single, a re-release of “No Government” with brand new remixes, on [[label:Great Stuff Records]] in 2007, 2008 and 2009. She also featured on the title track of the album “Love” by [[artist:DJ Cam]]. Various featuring singles were released, including two singles on [[artist:Samuel Yirga]]’s new album on [[label:Real World Records]]. Her fourth solo album 'The Infinitive' is planned for a release in 2026 on her own record label 'Early Records'.
