- Band
|
Nicky Prince is a singer, songwriter and natural born performer from Milton Keynes.
Brought up on a Hi-Fi diet of Stevie Wonder, Roy Ayres, Millie Jackson and Gladys Knight - not to mention some of the more eclectic strains of Sly & The Family Stone, Parliament and Funkadelic - it was clear to Nicky Prince from infanthood that soul, in all its glorious incarnations, is where the heart is.
Dancing was the first foray into a life about to be lost in music, but by the age of 18, singing became her primary mode of expression.
She was barely out of her teens before she was recording, performing, writing, acting and arranging in so many different permutations that we could be here ‘till the cows ‘bring it on home’ before we’re done ticking them off.
In short, the Nicky Prince story is one with plot-points such as Glastonbury, Radio 1, The Top 20, Eurovision, The Jazz Café, XL; support for Roy Ayres, Courtney Pine and the late great man himself James Brown.
Nicky is now singing material that was her childhood inspiration, and was spoon-fed to her with the brussels!. Reminiscing the old tunes, and getting together with her band, reignited Nicky's "funk-fire" and prompted her pronouncement that she was "going back to her roots"
With the new band and an exciting fresh groove.
Whether live, on record or in session, the voice of Nicky Prince evokes the kind of ‘down home gravitas’ you might expect to encounter in Chicago, Detroit or New York - certainly a surprise in the East Anglia region of England. You can call it a re-imagining, re-invention or maybe just a long over due visit to the old neighbourhood!
Nicky Prince and her band are avilble for Clubs, Weddings, Military, Private functions and Corporate events.
