After winning MTV Cover of the Month in February 2017, Nikita went on to gain the title of Best New Artist of the Year (2017), and Best Music Video of the Year (2018) at the International Portuguese Music Awards. The songwriter was voted Best Musician in the South Okanagan by Okanagan Life Magazine (2015), as her honest storytelling mixed with her modern pop/rock twist and breathy yet strong vocal harmonies has the ability to captivate audiences from the vibrant young to the charming old. She has proven to be an in-demand entertainer in the lower mainland performing in intimate settings as well as for large crowds of regional music concerts such as opening for Paul Brandt and sharing a stage with Keith Urban.
