Nicole
Chillemi -
Appreciative
of any song with substance, Nicole chooses old jazz
standards as her mode of expression. It follows
then that among her idols are Sarah Vaughn, Ella
Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Anita Oday, and Nina
Simone. Though she does not scat and her voice is
soprano, Nicole strives for the status of jazz singer.
Her voice is full of colors, smooth and clean. One
of her mentors describes Nicole's voice as a fragile
fern, otherworldly. Other listeners mention the
soulful, haunting quality of her pure and clear
voice. www.nicolechillemi.com

Baker and Frank Sinatra. www.joegransden.com |
