Born and raised in Chicago, alternative artist Ally Nicholas's journey has not been one without bumps in the road. Forced to grow up too soon, her adolescence was tainted by addiction and loss. Turning to music for comfort, songwriting quickly became the only way to make sense of the world happening around her. Characterized by a seasoned, innate darkness and drawing from genres like rock and metal, Ally soon found hope and direction in pursuing her artistry.
After dropping out of college her freshman year, Ally couch-surfed around New York until she found a home at a Manhattan-based studio, Engine Room Audio. From there she worked toward her goal of becoming a recording artist. With only three singles out, Ally has amassed one million streams across platforms and received recognition by publications like One's To Watch and Euphoria Mag.
“Nicholas' talent as an artist is undeniable and her success is inevitable. Despite growing up and feeling like a perpetual outsider, it's clear she has found a home within music. Her dark aesthetic perfectly juxtaposes her light and airy vocals. "Feels Like Dying" is just a glimpse into the world of music awaiting to be crafted by Nicholas.” - Ones To Watch
