M Pire Magazine sits down with Nicky OMG to do an exclusive interview. Check it out below: Q: Do you have a family history of musical involvement? Does your family before you possess musical talent? A: Not really. My dad always sang as I was growing up, but as far as calling it talent, I wouldn’t. HaHa! He would kill me if he knew I said that. He just leisurely sang a song here and there, but that’s about it. Q: What inspired you to write your first song at 10 years old? A: I’ve been singing and making up melodies in my head since I could talk, so it’s in my soul. But I remember listening to Mariah Carey and Guy’s “Let’s Chill” that day, and all of a sudden it hit me, that I could create my own song. It never registered to me before that day, that I could create a song like the ones I listen to. Like an epiphany! HaHa! My adrenaline was flowing and my excitement was goin’ crazy. So I sat down, and it started pourin’ out. It was called “Dear Diary”, and it’s really embarrassing now, but there ya have it! Q: What inspired you to start your own clothing line, and how can people access it? A: Well, when I buy clothes, it’s like buying art; I need it to speak to me or I won’t get it. I want to display what I’m feeling that day, either by the style or something literally written on the clothing. I’m admittedly pretty picky, and kind of cocky (I promise, not in the obnoxious way, I just know my self-worth), and the clothing today was lacking for me. I needed something that says, I’m confident, I’m driven, and I’ll never give up on something I want and deserve. So I sat down and wrote out some things that I wanted in a shirt/hoodie, and I made it happen! :) Q: Have you gone on tour yet, and if so, where was your favorite place to tour and why? A: No, I haven’t gone on tour yet! I’ve did a lot of shows, but I wouldn’t call it an actual tour, as some were just on a whim. I have two albums coming out in 2014, and I am planning a tour for those. (Cont’d) 10
