Hello Everyone,

I know it has been a minute but I wanted to make sure I had a bunch of good news to share with you. Things are going really well. I feel quite blessed to have the life that I have. Ten years ago, I had no idea that I would even be a professional singer/songwriter. I am so blessed that God has enabled me to do this and do this well. I am hopeful about what is to come next. With all of that said, here is this month's update!

Press, Press, and More Press!
Read these great reviews of Tamika's Music on-line now:

Prayzehymnonline.com-J. Matthew Cobb
"But Nicole dazzles and impresses more than anything on Letting Go. Most of the songs are primed with believable instrumentation and work easily on Nicole's confident vocals. And since the album serves as a half-gospel, half-mainstream celebration, the experimentation with musical styles and the strong lyrics both work as welcoming additions to those in need of unshakable discipline. Since the album sounds almost like a quick tutorial to life's challenges, you can expect young ladies to gain inspiration from Nicole's brand of urban devotionals."
