Bio

Within a short time Nicole Blanco, "the Latina Sade/Dido type" has done what is difficult for many musicians to achieve in a lifetime, but you’d never know it by talking with her, "It all just kind of happened, so I’m just going with it". You’ll find her attitude is very nonchalant considering that in only two years of playing music publicly she has amassed an impressive repertoire of original songs, refined her craft as a pianist, taught herself to play guitar, has played gigs in clubs and lounges in Los Angeles, Miami, and New York City. Nicole Blanco is a rare find in the music industry. Her music and onstage personality has a vulnerability that keeps her audience enraptured. Her deft piano playing lays the canvas for her unique vocal stylings to paint landscapes of love-loss, heartache, celebration of the spirit and hope.

It is Nicole’s songwriting however, that truly sets her apart from the pack of dime-a-dozen lounge singers. Rare is it, indeed to find someone with her depth of emotion who is able to alchemize it miraculously into bittersweet melodies that span the musical spectrum from pop, world, salsa, electronica to 70s NYC East Village folk. The overwhelming positive response and interest in her music, which she is currently recording in the studio is a tribute to her ability to make genuinely well-crafted and very listenable music. And she sings in Spanish also!

To see Nicole Blanco perform live is to fall in love with Nicole Blanco. Her music evokes a trust and childish glee from her audience the feeling that you’re reading a dear friends journal entry by flashlight under a childs tent. It is in this atmosphere where the subtlety and tenderness of her lyrics find space to grow and dawn on the minds of all-too-willing listeners.

Nicole Blanco is an original. Those who experience her live or hear her music may draw comparisons to other piano and acoustic guitar-based musicians such as Fiona Apple, Alicia Keys, Dido, Sade, and Norah Jones. These comparisons, however, flattering they may be, are made by those who are unable to accept a new musical force for exactly what it is - new.

Nicole Blanco is a star. She may be an unlikely star whos not full of herself, pretense, angst or any of the other unfortunate characteristics that too-frequently accompany stardom. She is a star that the music world needs desperately. A star who is unafraid to communicate the pain of being alive and the hope that belongs to those few of tremendous spirit. And stars of this caliber don't come around often.
