Meet The Artists - Nyke Prince

NYKE PRINCE
Music Performer, Lyrics writer, Model, Songwriter, Drummer.
And, deaf.



Nyke Prince is a multi-talented performing artist based in Los Angeles. She is a bilingual songwriter, and an up and coming drummer. Nyke has a passion for music and cannot live in this world without music. At a young age she loved dancing in front of her TV, dressed in her tutu, rocking out to MTV. Unfortunately at this young age she was struck with a nasty cold which caused her to become deaf. Without skipping a beat she never let her being deaf stop her from performing as an actress and dancer. Once she was scouted, modeling became part of her repertoire.When she's not on the runway or under the stage-light, you might spot Nyke behind-the-scenes as a professional make up artist.

Nyke is no stranger to the music scene and was able to tour with bands such as Nine Inch Nails, Peaches, Dresden Dolls, Queens of the Stoneage, Brody Dalle and other amazing artists. Being a part of these tours and being constantly surrounded by music made Nyke realize she needed to follow her passion and decided to take drum lessons with Gil Sharone from Stolen Babies. Before long, she started to write her own songs and could be found playing drums at small live venues all around the Los Angeles area. Her music is a mix of pop and rock and has been compared to Lady Gaga meets Motley Crew.
