Nicole Alifante

Nicole started on the kitchen table singing Streisand tunes at two years old. She wrote her first song at nine years old. She was produced as a solo recording artist by Sam Hollander but wasn’t wise enough to stay the course because she wanted to be an actor. She was a featured background singer on many albums over the years. Nicole headed into Fordham University at Lincoln Center and majored in theater, became a professional actor then left show business when she had a family. She lost her way so she conjured her nine year old self and started writing songs and forming bands in Westchester County. She wrote 100 songs, a musical, MAYFLOWER AVENUE, currently in a semi-finalist position for a potential prestigious musical theater workshop and she is now making original music and gigging with The Wild Life. She founded a nonprofit that tackles social justice issues and resides in Westchester with her husband, son and dog, Chet Baker.
