Career
Early life
Nichols grew up in Detroit and credits her grandfather for her love of music.[4] Inspired by Santigold, Wes Anderson, Spike Lee, and Betty Davis, she moved to Los Angeles and entered the entertainment industry as a writer, working on the acclaimed short film The 5th Room. In 2020, she released the poetry work Black Woman & a Few Things.[5]
Music career
In 2022, Nichols released "Gimme More", an alternative-rock debut single, which was crafted from a beat created by Nichols two years prior during the Covid-19 pandemic and her pregnancy.[4] Her music caught the attention of Parkwood Entertainment, who invited her to sessions for what would become Beyoncé's seventh studio album Renaissance. Nichols would contribute to standout tracks "Thique" and "All Up In Your Mind", which charted along with the entire album on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[6] Nichols subsequently received a Album of The Year Grammy nomination at the 2023 ceremony.[7][8]
This was followed in 2024 by the acclaimed single "Hold Me Down".[3]
