ABOUT Nicola Marie Harris:

Musician/Band
Studied LAINE THEATRE ARTS•based Nottingham UK
Presenter www.appleradio.co.uk MKOC (My Kind of Country)
Singer/Songwriter/Dancer/Actor linktr.ee/NicolaHarrisOfficial


Born & Raised in Newark Nottingham England,
Nicola Harris is a modern country singer-songwriter and has been a highly successful professional singer since she was 16 years of age. Career highs have included performing alongside a host of industry stars from UB40 to Elkie Brooks and Jason Donovan to James Arthur.

In 2019 Nicola started to pen and perform her own songs after attending The Long Road festival and being inspired after watching the very talented Twinnie. Her first release was ‘Notice Me’ which got her noticed and nominated for a 2021 UK Country Music Award, Nicola found herself as the only female artist in the finals for the singer/songwriter category.

During lockdown Nicola was delighted to be interviewed by Una Healy on her Absolute Country Hits radio show, where Una made Nicola her ‘champion homemade artist’ with her single ‘I Wanna, I Gotta Dance’.  On the Hotdisc Chart (dated 12 March 2023) the single is currently No.5 on the Hotdisc British & Irish Chart and No.15 on the Hotdisc Top 40 (dated 2 April 2023). The single is taken from NOTICE ME (2019 Harris) a 4 tracker EP (first released May 8, 2020).

She shared she has four new singles to release and performed her original music for the first time later in 2023 with her new band.

Nicola's single “Perfect Kiss” (Single; Homeland Records) dropped on April 5, 2023! (Listen Link),

On July 28, 2023 she released "Toby Keith" which was penned before the late country stars passing. It reached No.11 on UK iTunes Country Singles Chart.
Her single "My Baby's Got Wings" (released 11 Oct 2023) was written years earlier after a personal loss and it dropped to coincide with Baby Loss Awareness Week and is perhaps one of Nicola's most personal and emotionally charged songs she's ever written.

Her brand new self-penned single "Foolin' Around" dropped June 6, 2024 (Listen Link) based on a real life experience of an ex who did not appreciate the good woman he had. One woman was just not enough for him and naively he was caught foolin' around!
Who wants a boy, when you can have a man There’s only one person a boy loves, but a man knows what he’s got 
Listeners of Nicola's MKOC radio show will instantly recognize the theme tune incorporated into this great track!

Chris Stevens left the radio station at the end of July 2022. Chris said “Running a radio station is a full-time job, and while I’ve loved every minute of it, it’s taken over my life in the last few years. Now that I’m the dad of a toddler, I want to be able to spare more time with my family while still being a massive country music fan. The radio station team are wonderful, and I’ve no doubt that the station will continue to go from strength to strength.”

He was also awarded a CMA award in 2018 for broadcasting (CMA International Broadcaster).
