BETA Records - Your music matters!

Maybe you heard her and the band rocking the East Village. Or you wandered into a Brooklyn café to find her enchanting the crowd with just voice and guitar. Or lush vocals and clever lyrics on the airwaves gripped you: "Who is that?"

Who, indeed. If there were a simple answer, singer/songwriter Nicole Collins – an anti-cliché mélange of rock/pop, soul and folk – might not be the fount of raw introspection she is.

Since producing her first album in 2004, Nicole has been performing from the New York area – at The Bitter End, Rockwood Music Hall and Central Park, just to name a few – to the South and Midwest and beyond. Along the way, she’s taken tunes to the national airwaves and Internet radio, and been featured in television shows in the city and across the Atlantic in Scandinavia.
In 2006, she took Europe by storm, traveling to Germany, Spain, and Demark, where she performed at Tivoli Gardens (capacity 3000+) in November. Last year also saw the release of her new CD, "Not This Time," bringing her music to the next level with intensely personal lyrics and sophisticated arrangements to set off her stunning voice.

As always, she is performing, creating and doing for-hire vocals –- and racking up the miles on the park’s running trails in her free time.
