Nia Nicholls plus support from Dixie Dix

Awarded Best Solo Artist and Best Songwriter by the OMA’s in Dorset, Nia’s got a reputation that’s as strong as her voice. Her hit track “Exes” was named Track of 2023 by BBC Introducing, and she’s been rockin’ the airwaves on BBC Kent and BBC Wales.This lady’s got Nashville in her blood, having recorded most of her songs in Music City, but she’s been making waves all over the map! In 2024, she became the first British artist ever invited to perform at the In A Jam Down By The River festival in Texas! ????And if that’s not enough to get you excited, country star Dylan Scott has her on his radar, calling her “one to watch,” while legendary American songwriter Dean Friedman has had her open for him on his UK tours the past two years.
