WHO RECORDED SUCH EARLY HITS AS "LITTLE BROWN JUG", "OH SUSANNA", AND "LITTLE LIZA JANE". NIKKI'S GRAND FATHER AS SINGER, MUSICIAN, SONGWRITER, PRODUCER, RADIO DJ PERSONALITY, WAS POSTHUMOUSLY INDUCTED INTO THE ATLANTA COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME IN 1986.

NIKKI HORNSBY WAS BORN IN LONG BEACH, CA. BUT SPENT HER FORMATIVE YEARS GROWING UP IN THE RURAL AREA OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA. IT IS FROM HERE THAT HER TRUE ROOTS AND STRENGTHS HAVE EMERGED. IN THE SPACIOUS, WOODED REGION, SHE QUICKLY DEVELOPED A LOVE FOR MUSIC, TACKLING PIANO, ACCORDION, AND TRUMPET. EARNED HER FIRST GUITAR BY SELLING FLOWER SEEDS IN THE COUNTRYSIDE. TAUGHT HERSELF THROUGH BOOKS & RECORDS TO PLAY GUITAR AND IMMEDIATELY STARTED WRITING SONGS.

DURING HIGH SCHOOL IN WAYNESBORO, VA AND COLLEGE IN BELMONT, NC, NIKKI CONSTANTLY PERFORMED FOR FRIENDS AND FELLOW STUDENTS, FINALLY MOVING INTO PROFESSIONAL CLUB WORK IN NORTH CAROLINA, WASHINGTON D.C. AND

EVENTUALLY CALIFORNIA. IT IS LARGELY DUE TO HER FULL-TIME EXTENSIVE CLUB WORK THAT SHE HAS BEEN ABLE TO HONE HER WRITING SKILLS AND DEVELOP HER IMPRESSIVE STRONG & CONTROLED VOCAL STYLE.

WITH MANY ARTICLES PRINTED IN PUBLICATIONS SUCH AS CASHBOX MAGAZINE, "RISING STAR", WHICH SAID: "THERE ARE SOME WHO STUMBLE UP THAT STAIRWAY TO THE STARS DESPITE THEMSELVES. TOO, THERE ARE THOSE WHO ASCEND ELEGANTLY, LIKE NIKKI HORNSBY. SHE IS NOT ONLY A TALENTED SINGER/SONGWRITER BUT SHE IS ASTUTE IN THE BUSINESS OF MUSIC. THIS WRITER IS IMPRESSED ..."

CA COUNTRY MUSIC NEWS (SAN JOSE, APRIL 1992): "THIS SWEET-VOICED MULTI-TALENTED SONGBIRD IS A TRADITIONAL COUNTRY MUSIC DYNAMO! ... ONE THING'S FOR CERTAIN, WITH TALENT AND CHARISMA LIKE HERS, THE ONLY WAY SHE CAN GO IS UP! A WORD OF ADVICE TO YOU MAJOR LABEL MOGULS OUT THERE: GRAB THIS ONE! SHE IS HOT!!!"
