From her website: Nikki Rous sings and plays the guitar. What, you need more? Well, what if we said that she writes and performs heartfelt acoustic songs, sometimes by herself and sometimes with any number of passing musician friends who may be in the vicinity? Do we need to say she’s shared stages with the likes of Supergrass, Roisin Murphy, Level 42, The Pogues, Tom Robinson, Scott Matthews and Nerina Pallot, at venues like Wolves Civic Hall, The Robin 2 and The Glee Club and recently warmed up the audience for Jamiroquai at Birmingham’s LG Arena? http://nikkirous.co.uk/ You’re desperate to know how this came about? Is it a necessity to describe how Nikki attended London Stage School, was trained as a dancer and classical singer and simply taught herself guitar at a scant 16 years old, then began gigging in between terms? Or how helping at local music nights led to her starting a music production company to promote upcoming live bands? So you wonder what she’s doing currently? Would this be what she does in between being a parent, playing gigs, writing new material, cycling through a hairstyle every week, designing and wearing tattoos and getting burley men with wrenches to fix her ailing motor vehicle? Do you need to know that she’s inspired by Ani Difranco, Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell, Damien Rice, PJ Harvey, Radiohead and Portishead, and will happily take you all on in an online Call Of Duty session? Like we said. Nikki Rous sings and plays the guitar.
