You were never created to cower.
— Nicole Anderson, "Hey Love"
 
 

Nicole Anderson is an Independent Folk/Pop Artist from rural Minnesota.

Her father taught her & her two sister's a love of music from a young age, as he played with a gospel bluegrass band throughout most of her childhood. Nicole's first instrument was the violin. She also grew up singing in church by herself & with her family, which laid the groundwork for being on stage now. 

She began writing original songs at the young age of 12, as a way of first coping with, and then later healing from a period of depression & anxiety. She later began a YouTube channel at 17 to connect with others dealing with similar issues, recording covers and originals.

Says Anderson:

"Music just has this really incredible ability to match lyrics and melodies to emotions & struggles we can't normally express through words. A passion for people & awareness of mental health struggles through music has become a way that I can not only express my own journey, but also connect on a very deep level with everyone I meet. I love people and I want to see them win their battles & love life. That passion has not only driven me forward on the journey of being a singer-songwriter, it's also become my life's anthem."

She released her first EP Album, "Hey Love" in February of 2017, and has since released 3 singles, "Better Days", "The Road", and “Top of the World” as an independent label with Zachary Maslowski (Forest Avenue Studio, Mora Minnesota). She currently writes & sings Pop/Folk music, and is working towards the release of her first full-length album. Her driving passion is to flood people with love & understanding through music — and above all let them know that they are not alone.
