From the visual arts to being a juror at the upcoming Viña del Mar International Song Festival, singing at Coachella, starring in Tiny Desk, performing on The Tonight Show and winning Premio Lo Nuestro, Nicki Nicole defines it as a dream come true to see herself achieving so much in such a short time and she is proud that other singers with whom she shares nationality are also raising the Argentine flag in style.
In a special way, Niki spoke to LISTÍN DIARIO about the female empowerment that is being created within the music industry.
For Nicki, that urban artists like Natti Natasha, Karol G, Tokischa, Becky G and her compatriots María Becerra, Nathy Peluso, Cazzu, Emilia, Tini Stoessel and Lali Esposito are standing out worldwide for saying what they think without being judged by their gender is one more step towards equality.
In addition, she points out that among the positive things she perceives with this progress is that people are already learning that “a woman can be with whoever she wants and be successful because she is talented” and not because she had to sleep with someone to get where she is.
Likewise, he also spoke of Shakira’s collaboration with the Argentine music producer Bizarrap, since both were part of the beginnings of each other’s careers, Nicki being the protagonist of “BZRP Music Sessions #13”, forty sessions before the Colombian one. .
“I feel happy that he is breaking it as he is doing it,” he said, in addition to seeing as good and valid the lyrics that Shakira dedicated to his ex-partner, the former Spanish soccer player Gerard Piqué. “I don’t know if I dare do the same for an ex (laughs).”
