Nicole (her real name is Denisse Lillian Laval Soza), Chilean singer currently living in Miami, started her career at a very early age, in 1989.
Here in Chile she is one of the most important singers in the genre of music “Pop/Rock” of the last 20 years and one of very few ones that could internationalize her career on the competitive Anglo-Saxon market, since to widen her frontiers, Nicole decided to try some luck in Mexico, and then in the USA.
Now with five discs to her credit, the Chilean singer begins a new stage with the autoproduction of a new album, "APT"… but not many people know her history, which today I want to show you.
She began her musical career when she was just 12 years old. Her first album, “Perhaps I am falling in love” (Tal Vez me Estoy Enamorando) was locally successful, reaching Gold Status. Years later, the singer released “Waiting for nothing” (Esperando Nada), that was produced by Tito Davila (ex Enanitos Verdes), which sold more than 75,000 copies only in Chile. Then in 1997, “Dreams in transit” (Sueños en Transito), produced by Gustavo Cerati, made her deserving of recognition in Latin America as a consolidated singer.
In order to expand her horizons, Nicole decided to emigrate to Mexico and try her luck. Later she moved to the USA, where she managed to make contact with Bruno del Granado, who upon hearing her, made her a part of Madonna’s Latin label “Maverick Music”.
“Infinite journey” (Viaje Infinito), released in 2002, recorded in New York City and produced by Andres Levin, received a Grammy nomination for best Latin Female Vocalist. This album opened the door for her in the musical greats, including participating with the legendary band Chicago in the World Music Jam held in Radio City Hall. She sang with them the successful “If You Leave Me Now”.
During this time, Nicole participated in two cinematographic productions: “The Friend” (La amiga) in Miami and “For Rent” (Se Arrienda) in Chile. The films were recognized in various film festivals throughout the world.
Nowadays, the singer is promoting her most recent album entitled “APT” (apartment), produced by Jimmy Frazier and her, released in July of 2006 under her own label called “Chika Entertainment Inc.” The album’s first single is “If You Come for Me” (Si Vienes por Mi), the second single to be released from this album is "Veneno" (Poison), being more successful than the first choice.
In my opinion Nicole is one of few singers (if she is not the only one) that sounds better a live than in CDs, which makes see her in a live show, a real pleasure. I could verify this, in the last edition of the “Florida Music Fest”, event in which she participated and conquered all the public.
