POM8 Nicole Lepera “Night of the Voices”

Nicole Lepera’s music tends to span the gamut of styles. She just writes whatever comes to her, with no censoring whatsoever. Nicole has an interesting background in that she’s received a Masters Degree in Music Composition, writing string quartets, orchestra music and the like. However, She ended up returning to the world of songwriting, abandoning the more complex styles of music.

Nicole plans to keep on living, keep on writing, keep on playing, solo for the most part, although she does enjoy collaboration with other songwriting pals.
