NICOLA M

I’m an independent artist, singer, and songwriter, and my musical adventure has been evolving for many years. My latest single, Morning Glory, is now available on all major streaming platforms, and I’m currently working toward the release of a full-length album, tentatively titled Moods, coming this December.

My recording journey goes back to 2010, when I released a four-track EP as a tribute to some of the songs and songwriters I grew up listening to and discovered during my years in radio. Working on that project with songwriter, arranger, and musician Marcel Brunet was an incredible experience and one that remains an important part of my musical story. Recently, I have had the good fortune to work with two incredible musicians, Pierre-Luc Scott and Etienne Lambert, who have been instrumental in bringing my ideas to life.

My musical influences are far too numerous to list, but some of the artists who have had a particularly strong impact on me include The Pretenders, The Cure, Blondie, Cocteau Twins, Depeche Mode, Simple Minds, and Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (pre-OMD) — and I can’t leave out the legendary David Bowie and Roxy Music. These artists have all influenced the way I hear and feel music, but I’ve never wanted to limit myself to one era, sound, or genre.

For me, music has always been about exploration, emotion, and connection. From the alternative radio scene of the ’80s to recording projects, songwriting, and my current independent releases, every chapter has brought something new. And so, the musical adventure continues…
