Long Bio
Nicole Fleshin is a singer-songwriter from Bradford, Ontario. Frequently compared to Avril Lavine, Stevie Nicks, and Nancy Wilson, her edgy and energetic repertoire pulls strongly from both pop, and rock genres, with the intrigue of alternative music. With exploring themes of trust, self love, forgiveness, growth, and standing up for what you believe in, Nicole constructs the narrative of her life, and embraces wisdom through her music.
Passionate, bold vocals and heartfelt lyrics, coupled with self expression are captured in her debut single, Not for Me. “I find myself in places where I give so much of myself, time, and energy for people and l forget that I deserve the same energy back, Not for Me talks about letting go and doing what is best for me. People come and go in life, but music has always healed me and been there for me. Whether I’m listening to my favorite song or picking up the guitar - it always has empowered me, and it has made me find confidence within myself. I was bullied as a kid, and turned to music to process how I was feeling - that was my first song, and it forged my connection to this craft.”
