NICOLETTE STEPHANIE

aka  NIKO

Soprano / Mezzo-Soprano  ·  Eb-F#

NEW YORK CITY


ARTIST OVERVIEW

Niko is a New York City-based soprano and mezzo-soprano vocalist with over 500 live performances spanning corporate galas, luxury brand events, military ceremonies, weddings, and concert stages. A classically trained artist with theater education from Marymount Manhattan College (BS, Theater Performance), she brings technical precision and genuine stage presence to every engagement — whether fronting a full orchestra, leading a DJ-and-vocalist set, or performing intimate cocktail-hour repertoire.

Niko has performed extensively with American Bombshells and Hank Lane Entertainment, two of the country's premier event entertainment organizations. Her repertoire spans pop, jazz standards, Broadway, R&B, classical, Haitian/Creole folk, and international styles. A multilingual performer, she sings in English, French, French Creole, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, and Italian — a rare asset for high-end multicultural events and international clientele.

As recording artist Aera Moon, Niko has released original music across English, Japanese, and Korean — including the J-pop singles Moonlight (Love) and Shiroyama Sakura, the original Korean-language single HER, and the electronic single Spell on Me, produced by David Paglia (Almighty1). Her debut goth pop single BLACK is out now on all platforms. She has been coached by Grammy-winning songwriter Gordon Chambers.

Beyond the stage, Niko holds the Miss Earth USA ECO 2019 title, is a certified yoga instructor (RYT), and is the founder of LuxeTerre, a sustainable luxury lifestyle platform.
