With rich lyrics and moody down beats, Nichole ALDEN creates post-industrial melancholy and a seductive atmosphere. Often associated with the power and appeal of fast cars, from the use of her hit songs "Baby Now" in Peugeot and Harley Davidson and "So Beautiful" in Audi television ad campaigns, ALDEN has conquered erotic thriller and horror niches with her haunting vocal presence in The Housemaid film trailer and Dexter television promos in addition to being featured alongside Amy Winehouse and Ella Fitzgerald on Universal Music Hong Kong's "Dreams of Love" Compilation CD. ALDEN’s musical style has developed over time from head-banging rock with her first band INSANE to folky acoustics with her first album Under the Skin (2001), while her most recent albums Lost Into Experience (2009) and You Are Not Alone (2010) glimpse an evolution into a darker electronic lounge vibe. Along the way, she’s collaborated with dance and pop producers on a number of projects ranging from house anthem “Live So Free” with Swiss American Federation (which made it’s way to # 11 in the UK Upfront Charts and a chart position in the Euro Club Top 100) to ridiculous pop songs like “Teaser” with Mark Okoh. In collaboration with Jeremy Levy, ALDEN released sultry, desperate love anthem, Anything in September 2013. In August 2014, she cowrote the dark submissive love song, In Your Hands, with Jeff Zacharski. Whatever the genre, she has consistently captivated audiences with her intoxicating voice, presence and lyrics. It was in her early years as a latch key kid that ALDEN's passion for songwriting emerged. She began writing songs in grade school, where she tried out a number of instruments including violin, stand up bass, and keyboard. In middle school, she got her first electric guitar and began performing in Central Florida nightclubs with heavy rock band INSANE at age 14. During the summers, she studied music, songwriting, and performance at National Guitar Workshop in Connecticut, where she learned from guitar heroes such as Andy Timmons and Nuno Bettencourt. By high school graduation, Nichole had written, recorded, and produced more than a handful of original songs and played dozens of live shows. Seeking balance between her artistic aspirations and academic endeavors, ALDEN pursued formal studies in Economics and Education while steadily building her song catalog. She moved to Los Angeles in 1999 with little more than her guitar and a suitcase; something like the scene out of Poison's Fallen Angel video. Like many musicians trying to break into the industry, she started out working a number of day jobs, from managing the marketing department at West L.A. Music to offering tech support for Disney's Consumer Products division. Along the way, she also brought her passion into the classroom, teaching at elementary schools in the challenging areas of South Central and East Los Angeles and elite Pacific Palisades. Currently, ALDEN creates custom music for film/television and other artists while working on her fourth studio album in the Silicon Beach community of Santa Monica, California.
