About Nicole A. Anderson
Nicole A. Anderson’s (Nikki) formal background in music started at the Ottley Music School (informal background of gospel began with her father, Gerald Anderson) and continued at Oakwood University. While at Oakwood, Nikki became a band member of the gospel choir, Dynamic Praise, composed numerous short piano pieces, vocal songs, composed a short-film soundtrack, co-produced an album, The Experience Renewed, and composed four major hymn arrangements including the well known work, “The Parable of Blind Bartimaeus.”Nikki graduated from Oakwood, earning a Bachelor of Music in Theory and Composition. In November 2008, Nikki had the privilege of performing with the pianist troupe “Keys to the Kingdom” in Fort Worth, Texas. The troupe was comprised of famous artists including Shelton Kilby, Nancy Dudley, Adrian T. Westney, Gale Murphy, etc. After graduating from Oakwood, Nikki was able to join the Emmanuel Brinklow SDA Church Music Department as a church musician with her brother, mentor and Music Director, Nathan L. Anderson.From December 2008-Early March 2010, working with Nathan and Brinklow’s Music Dept. consisting of Anika Sampson and Porsche Vanderhorst were wonderful years of growth and exposure to diverse styles of worship. However, on March 25, 2010, the unexpected death of Nathan challenged her faith in inexplicable ways. Nate’s death began a new and challenging journey of trusting in God. Although N2A Ministries was recognized as an LLC in 2013, Nikki believes God started the formation in 2010. Support from immediate family and church families worldwide promoted a project spearheaded by Nikki’s father to start a foundation in honor of her brother to give back to students who are pursuing careers in the four areas of studies Nate majored in. (more info can be found at www.rememberingnathananderson.com ) One major avenue to fund this non-profit foundation was producing an album of all previously released and unreleased songs Nathan either wrote, arranged, co-produced or played as a session musician on. God had additionally given Nikki the strength to be a part of the writing, directing and performances phases of the “Love Lifted Me” CD project. You can support the “Love Lifted Me” project on iTunes or directly from www.rememberingnathananderson.com. 2010-2013 had many unexpected and discouraging challenges. But God has continued to prove to Nikki that He is a healer, a God of Love and continues to restores. In July 2013, the SDA World Youth Director, Gilbert Cangy, allowed Nikki as well as other Brinklow Music Department ministry worship directors lead others into worship in Pretoria, South Africa at a Youth Congress (Impact SA). Impact SA, prayer, the power of God, determination to persevere in ministry and the love of music prompted Nikki and other lyric collaborators to write “Together As One” as a theme song for this event. This song exemplifies a burning desire to share the love of Christ to everyone in unity through diversity. Cultural differences were cast aside for the power of unified love. As each new day approaches, Nikki, through N2A Ministries, LLC, is prepared to embark on a new journey; a journey to spread the love of our Savior Jesus Christ through the medium of music ministry. - See more at: http://n2aministries.com/bio/#sthash.45uQveuE.dpuf
