Shakespeare's Crush

Hello folks! :) I am a local Portland Artist, grew up here, went to Parkrose High School. My biggest opportunity thus far was opening up for Uh Huh Her during Pride NW's 2009 Festival on the Main Stage! Wow! I've been a performing musician since 2003, when I began playing open mics and other benefit shows.

Hello folks! :) I am a local Portland Artist, grew up here, went to Parkrose High School. My biggest opportunity thus far was opening up for Uh Huh Her during Pride NW's 2009 Festival on the Main Stage! Wow! I've been a performing musician since 2003, when I began playing open mics and other benefit shows. I think my personality really shines better on stage, but I really enjoy collaborating and producing videos and mixed media. My sound is a little mixed, as my musical influences are literally endless and my musical training goes back for the better part of 3 decades. I am pretty Lilith-Centric when it comes to influences, as my young adult years were greatly influenced by the Women's Music movement. Last year, I got to sit in on a great show: Bitch & Ferron @ the Doug Fir. Fantastic! To see 2 musicians who love what they do for all the simplest of reasons. Thanks, Lex. :D My perfect day consists of warmth, water and good people, but I love me some thunderstorms and thick droplets of warm rain. I joined ourstage.com to compete in the Lilith Local Talen Search. Please give me a boost and vote for me. This is a goal I would love to achieve for the coming year and an honor to be considered one of Portland's local women's songwriters. Thanks for your support. -Nikki
