Nikki said she wrote the lyrics but she’s not a singer so she created one. She writes poems; she lost her dad when she was 8 years old. She showed Gayle how she creates a song – puts the lyrics into a program, then selects “light guitars”, “heavy drums”. She’s quite the producer!
“Xania Monet” has a song that is Number 1 on the Billboard Charts as well as the Number 1 song on Billboard Radio charts as well.
