Dreams alone don't satisfy Chicago's newest starlet, Nikki Lynette... she turns them into reality.

At first glance, this baby-faced bombshell might come across as being a soft touch. But this masterful singer, rapper, producer, and song-writer possesses versatility and a commanding presence that has earned attention nationwide. But what else could you expect from an artist whose musical influences span from Nas to Nirvana? "I don't pull any punches," Nikki Lynette explains. "Not too many people have the ability to reach diverse audiences. But I'm an entertainer. I got a lil' something for everybody."

In addition to being the featured vocalist on multiple national commercials (McDonald's, Nationwide Insurance, and Secret Deodorant, to name a few,) Nikki Lynette is well armed with knowledge of all genres of music, but hip hop is her weapon of choice. Her first national release, "The Hard Candy Mixtape Volume 1," is hosted by Atlantic record's own Lupe Fiasco and features plenty of guest appearances from mainstream and underground celebrities alike. This sensational underground project garnered mentions in Chicago's news papers as well as Fader Magazine. A talented visual artist as well, she incorporates her drawings and renderings into her attire, performances, and marketing materials.

When she auditioned for Fox's hip hop entertainment show, "RAW TV," and beat out multitudes of other competitors, Nikki Lynette was already a well known personality in Chicago, and fated for even more. Crowned "The Super Star Diva" of the five member "Diva Squad," Nikki Lynette has the experience and knowledge of the eclectic urban culture to help guide the show toward continued success. Having graced stages in New York, St. Louis, Boston, Atlanta, and Mississippi, to name a few, her edgy style and instantly likable persona have earned head nods from such industry notables as Sylvia Rhone, Richard Nash, and Marv Dyson to name a few. With the guidance of Vince Lawrence (of Slang Music Group, ) Ira Antelis (of leading advertising agency, Leo Burnett,) Nikki Lynette was groomed to be more than just an excellent performer, but a charming personality as well.

Nikki Lynette's fun, unpretenious personality has the power to draw in even the most skeptical viewer. She's confident, she's exotic, and she's beautiful... but, most importantly, she's 100% real. It shouldn't surprise anyone that this local sensation is well on her way to being a household name.
