Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, a musical household laid the groundwork for Nicole's career. Currently teaching at Frost School of Music after a 20 year tenture at Florida Memorial, Nicole was a protégé of the late Joe Williams. She is highly regarded as a violinist, vocalist, educator, and mentor to emerging musicians. @knickee1
