Hey there! I’m Nic, an eclectic vocalist trained in jazz, blues, rock, and more, and I’m beyond excited to bring some music magic your way! Whether you're craving smooth jazz, high-energy rock, or a soulful serenade, I’m your go-to performer for any occasion. I’ve had the pleasure of rocking stages at Crowbar, The Saint, Cage Brewing, Sparkman Wharf, and major festivals like Okeechobee and Gasparilla. From intimate engagements and lively birthday parties to corporate events and soft openings, I’ve done it all. No matter your crowd or setting, I’m here to craft the perfect musical experience just for you. Can’t wait to bring the music to your next event!
I was so impressed with both the artists and their demeanor during the party. Nicole was warm and engaging and people really seemed to love her voice and presence. I would strongly recommend her for any party.
Response from Nicole Hoffer:
Keith it was an honor to play for such a beautiful event. Hope we made your evening as much as you and yours made ours!
It was truly a pleasure to have Nicole perform at our event. She was so professional and really wowed the crowd. She is experienced and very versatile. Our guests not only loved her performance, but she was truly a gem to work with. Her musical talents, not withstanding, Nicole's voice is INCREDIBLE! I'm so glad to have met her...if you're looking for someone with and impressive voice, and impressive wheelhouse, and an impressive work ethic - book this young lady! Thanks Nicole, we loved you!
Nicole was very kind and professional. She arrived an hour ahead of the gig to set up and get settled in. She can really belt it out! We were very pleased with Nicole's services and would definitely recommend!
