Nikita Germaine

Nikita Germaine is another bright star to emerge from the talent rich soil of Oakland, CA. As the youngest of nine children, she's been singing since she was a young girl in talent shows from elementary thru high school. After studying music at Merritt College and San Francisco State University, Nikita decided to pursue her music career by performing in clubs in the San Francisco Bay Area, creating an industry buzz. She soon took her talents to the recording studio developing her own musical style and sharpening her songwriting skills. It was during this time she was introduced to Grammy winning producer Narada Michael Walden. Impressed with Nikita’s unique voice, she quickly became part of Narada’s signature sound and he soon had her singing vocals on album’s such as Aretha Franklin's " Who's Zoomin Who" CD. Since then she has contributed vocals on CDs for artist’s such as Whitney Houston's "Body Guard", LaToya London, Tevin Campbell, Steve Winwood, Curtis Mayfield, and Shanice Wilson. .
Soon it became evident that Nikita had special gifts. Her stunning beauty and sultry voice caught the eyes and ears of Motown Records which she called home for her debut album “As Sweet as it Comes.” Nikita again teamed up with Narada Michael Walden, but this time as THE artist as he produced one of the singles "All Over You, All Over Me." She also ventured into song writing as she co-wrote "Take Me Higher" with Narada for Diana Ross.
Nikita has recently teamed up with Darkside of Family Tree Productions to craft her highly anticipated sophomore album "Just Kita" (Family Tree Records/Koch) set for release in early 2008. Handpicked songs, many penned by Nikita herself, open a window to the songstress you have never seen. Her powerful vocals carry the tightly produced album and will be led off with the urgent upper mid-tempo jam, “911-LOVE.”
