Raised just thirty minutes from America’s
entertainment capital, Hollywood, California, Nicole always felt drawn to the performance spotlight. She
began taking piano lessons at four and at age 12, talent met discipline when she added formal voice lessons and began writing
original music. Her hard work paid off with a scholarship to Pepperdine University for classical voice. Typical
of her incredible work ethic, she graduated with a degree in music and advertising in only three and a half years.
The start of her professional career was in the role of Yonah
in the musical, “Children Of Eden” at Cabrillo Music Theater in Thousand Oaks, California. That
same year, she was crowned Miss Ventura County 2002 and was 4th Runner-Up to Miss California in the Miss America Organization,
winning the talent competition at both levels as well as “Miss Congeniality”. Nicole went on
to perform the role of Sarah in the musical “Ragtime” in three southern California theaters. Her
vocal recording of Jim Centorino’s “Song Of The Albatross” on his “Three Dreams” album was submitted
for a 2003 GRAMMY Nomination. Wholesome and disciplined, Nicole was a perfect addition to Disney’s
popular a-cappella group, American Vybe, at Disney, Orlando. Her professional singing engagements for contract
and charity are numerous. Currently she is performing in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “The Phantom Of The Opera”
in Las Vegas in the role of the Wardrobe Mistress and Confidante.
Creativity and passion inspired Nicole’s recently recorded album of original songs on “Nicole
Pryor – Unplugged.” This album features Nicole’s talents in their most organic form with
very little production on this recording. Nicole wrote the lyrics and music, played the piano, and sang
all the vocals on the album.
On New Year’s Eve 2007, inspiration
struck again. Nicole wrote her declaration song, “I’m Here,” the title of her solo career
debut. “I’m Here”, “Movin’ On”, and “Say Goodbye”, written
by Nicole, are all on her debut demo CD. Nicole credits her talented arranger, pianist, producer, and friend,
Tony Branco, for believing in her music and taking her songs to the next level.
Nicole is ready to make a splash on the
music scene. As a solo artist, she is a gifted vocalist and writer. As a person, Nicole’s
style is both earthy-chic and classic. She’s a young woman comfortable in her own skin, adorned with intelligence, honesty and kindness.
Her message, personality, and talent will most definitely make an impact on the music industry and the world.
