A portrait of Nicki Allan

Nicki's musical ability was apparent from an early age. Initially learning the piano as a child she then went on to study as a classical pianist at the Leeds College of music gaining a first class degree in Jazz and Contemporary music. It was whilst on the Jazz course that Nicki accidentally started 'singing'. As a second study Double Bass player in an all-girl Dixieland Jazz band, the opportunity to sing and play the bass presented itself. This latent singing ability was immediately obvious and was to pave the way for her later success.
