Today we’d like to introduce you to Nina Nicole.
Cleveland native, Nina Nicole, is an entertainer who has made a name for herself throughout the East Coast and Midwest as a lyricist, writer, author, and entrepreneur. Recently signing her first big contract with BravoTV’s music department, Nina Nicole has been showing us why some have labeled her the new underground Queen.

Nina Nicole has also been the Proud recipient of The Renaissance award via The Ohio Entertainment Awards and recipient to several awards from Cleveland’s Rebel Army Radio Awards.

Praised by the legendary, Madd Hatta aka Mista Madd of The Madd Hatta Morning Show, Nina has become a force to be reckoned with. One word to describe Nina Nicole – Unstoppable.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Honestly, I believe that no one’s dream is a smooth road and I didn’t expect it to be. I suffered through the regular challenges in life while being a musician, author, mom, wife and business owner. It’s a lot to juggle. I fight with myself to never become the normal face of female rap and it is taking me a lot longer to reach my peak than others because of that. I don’t fit the regular criteria of female rap but I vow to change the narrative.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I am a musician, author and business owner (Purple Dreams Boutique & Design Studio). I specialize in songwriting and design. In a nutshell, I am a creative. I love to create art in all aspects. I am known as The Punchline Queen. I love to paint pictures vividly with words. I love to play with the words and articulate in a manner that most have to think about a second time around. I love to make people think. I am most proud of both my book “Younicorn Memoirs” and my album “Younicorn,” which both dropped on the same day. I put a lot into both projects and allowed myself to be vulnerable and open up about all the trials and tribulations I faced on my journey to success. What sets me apart from others is my ability to adapt to any circumstance and my authenticity. I don’t sound like anyone, my creative ideas are one of a kind, and I move at the beat of my own drum. I pride myself in not being like others and not being stuck in any box, I want to be that millionaire with seven incomes and so far, I am only at three.
Can you talk to us a bit about happiness and what makes you happy?
Happiness to me is PEACE. Being content with who you are and having peace within your life is everything to me.
