| |
| Nikka Costa is touring this Spring with Lenny Kravitz... here is her new |
| CD. Enjoy! |
| |
| Nikka Costa (born: June 4, 1972) is no stranger to the music business. |
| Having been raised inside some of the most influential social circles |
| during her childhood, Costa was molded for perfection in her own right. |
| She's the daughter of famed arranger/producer Don Costa (Paul Anka, |
| Dinah Washington, Tony Bennett), not to mention the goddaughter of Frank |
| Sinatra. Her first musical gig was at age five, opening for Don Ho. Two |
| years later she wowed 300,000 Police fans in Chile. Nikka Costa was a |
| natural. |
| |
| Costa went back and forth between Los Angeles and Europe, maintaining a |
| sharp childhood sense while molding a sophisticated music career. By age |
| seven, she sang "On My Own" with the Don Costa Orchestra in Milan. From |
| there, her sassy persona was captured on record. She released several |
| albums throughout Europe, Israel, Central and South America, most of |
| them going platinum. Whirlwind success, however, was not overwhelming. |
| Costa's early days spent in her father's recording studio, meeting |
| Quincy Jones, Sly Stone, and Sammy Davis Jr., perfected this inspiring |
| singer/songwriter into the humble individual she's turned out to be. |
| |
| Her late teens were spent on the top of the German charts and by the |
| time she reached her mid-twenties, she called Australia home. She became |
| a favorite among the Outback, landing a deal with Mushroom Records and |
| issuing Butterfly Rocket in the mid-'90s. It garnered a nomination for |
| "Best New Artist" at the annual Australian Recording Industry Awards. |
| |
| The new millennium sparked a new scene for Costa. Now a mature woman |
| with a fiery spark of determination and passion, this red-headed siren's |
| songwriting expanded into an alluring art. Her urban vocalic stylings |
| sashayed with a raw sexiness, yet with class. She signed with the Aussie |
| label Cheeba Sound, home to soon-to-be labelmate D'Angelo. The sultry |
| single "Like a Feather" marked Costa's almost ignored debut in fall 2000 |
| when the cut was used in a Tommy Hilfiger advert. Virgin Records took |
| notice though, properly introducing Nikka Costa to the world in spring |
| 2001 with the full-length release of Everybody Got Their Something. |
