Nikki Flores

Nikki Flores (born Brandi Nichole Flores; October 17, 1988) is an American independent pop singer, musician, songwriter, and record producer. Nikki Flores began writing songs and performing at 8 years old. Her parents, who are both musicians, built a home studio allowing her to perform. Flores was signed to Epic Records in 2005, at age 16. She recorded two unreleased albums, including This Girl, which featured "Strike", written and produced by Ryan Tedder; she was released from the label in 2009.[citation needed] At this time Flores collaborated with producer Brian Kennedy for a song entitled "Let It Slide". She uploaded a demo version of "Let It Slide" to her Myspace page and it received over 19 million views and reached No. 1 on the Myspace Top 100 charts.[citation needed] She is proud of this song because of how relatable it is to her audience. "I was only writing about something that was so true for me in my life at that time. I released it on a whim and the response I got was overwhelming," she said. In 2010, Flores signed onto Ryan Tedder's Patriot Records, administered by Universal Republic. Tedder and Flores parted ways when the label was dissolved in 2012, and she turned her attention to writing with and for other artists.
