Growing up in Toledo, Ohio with a heavily influenced musical childhood, Marisa Nikole developed a love for music and singing before turning 1 year old. At the age of 9, and crafting her own poetry for the first time, she would turn her poems into music. Her music (rooted from her real life), she says: "My songs are like pages from my diary....almost all of them are about someone in my life, or inspired by someone I know or circumstances I've been through".

 

Relocating to Denver, CO at the end of 2014, she jumped into the Denver music scene with her Acoustic, Southern Soul Roots-Rock vibe. She began her first tour in 2016 for her first album release.

 

In 2017, she was named Denver's 'Top Artist' and placed first place in the Colorado Music Business Organization as a Songwriter. She continued to place first place in 5 other International competition's as a songwriter, and was listed in the Top 20 for 'Best of Pop Artists' & 'Best of Rock Artists' for 20 consecutive weeks. In 2019, she competed as a second round contestant on the reality singing competition, 'The Voice', and continues to pursue other creative outlets while creating new music.
