The latest episode of Seasonal Discussions, produced by Aberdeen-based SZN Media, shines a spotlight on emerging local talent with special guest Nicole D, a remarkable young artist whose determination and creativity are already setting her apart in the music industry.
At just 17 years old, Nicole’s list of achievements is impressive. She has released multiple singles, produced her own music videos, and created Next Wave: a grassroots music event giving local artists a stage to perform and connect with audiences. Her commitment to building a stronger creative community in Aberdeen is matched only by her personal drive, which regularly takes her to London for recording sessions and industry collaborations.
During the conversation, host Chris explores Nicole’s journey from her early days performing in singing competitions in Poland to launching her own event and navigating the challenges that come with being a young independent artist. Nicole speaks candidly about the highs and lows of the creative process, sharing insights on staying confident when obstacles appear, balancing ambition with self-care, and the importance of making time for friends and family amidst a busy schedule.
