Authentic.
Unapologetic.
Angsty.
Ariana Nichole is bringing unfiltered storytelling and fierce energy to the music industry, aiming to empower the next generation of bad bitches.
With an amassed catalog of over five hundred songs, Ariana Nichole is a prolific songwriter, releasing her first single, “Summer,” at age 17. After spending her childhood listening to Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson lyrical prowess, Ariana pens heartwrenching, emotionally-driven songs that are raw and real. It all began at age eight with a notebook and an endless imagination, writing lyrics and melodies constantly in her head. With a foundation in classical guitar and a background in choral singing, becoming a self-sufficient artist, songwriter, and producer was the path she was destined for.
After performing regularly at a coffee shop open mic during high school, this Bay Area native developed a local following and was featured twice as Artist of the Week. She was noticed and subsequently invited into the recording studio to learn production as well as feature on two tracks with her mentors, Josh and Rob of Nbdy Nprtnt. She started producing, recording, and mixing all of her own music in 2018. She expanded her skills through the Complete Producer Program at Pyramind in San Francisco.
As a singer, Ariana’s earthy vocal timbre is reminiscent of Marina and the Diamonds, combining both control and abandon. Using her lower register to highlight her typically bass-forward production, she delivers her melodies in compelling and surprising ways. Her tracks will make you think, question, and get real with yourself.
