Nicolette
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nicolette Suwoton is a UK singer/songwriter of Nigerian parentage. Currently living in London, UK, she was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and has lived in Nigeria, Switzerland, France, and Belgium. Her music, although falling broadly into the field of electronica, is characterised by myriad influences, including, jazz, classical, blues, folk, and African. This has resulted in a highly individualistic sound due in part to the extremely diverse variety of music her father played and taught her as a child. Known for her distinctive sensual, childlike voice, she has been described as "Billie Holliday on acid".
She has released three solo albums, as well as a DJ mix album for the DJ-Kicks series, and featured on 'Three' and 'Sly', two songs on Massive Attack's 1994 Protection album. She has worked with a host of other distinguished collaborators in the electronic music field, such as Plaid, Alec Empire, and 4 Hero. In 1999 she set up her own record label, Early Records.
