Nikki founded the Teen Indie Choir with Alison Ronayne in 2023, and has conducted the choir through performances such as the esteemed Cork Opera House stage.

She has released music alongside her musical accomplice Sam Barker, including an original music EP 'Girl & the Moon' available on all streaming platforms, as well as the very recent album 'In Her Own Words', a collective of music in the jazz repertoire written by women pre-1960, and will be headlining an upcoming concert with the Jazz Co-Op Ireland in Dublin's famous Cobblestone venue in June.
