BIO
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 2008, Nikki had the privilege of performing with the pianist troupe “Keys to the Kingdom” in Fort Worth, Texas. 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.
However, on March 25, 2010, the unexpected death of Nathan challenged her faith in inexplicable ways. Nathan’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.
2010-2020 were years full of learning experiences and opportunities. During this time, Nikki assumed the Music Director role at Emmanuel Brinklow SDA Church, previously held by Nathan. Collaborations with Brinklow's Music/Audio Departments, local artists and the SDA General Conference World Youth leadership team, resulted in regional, national and international events. Each event allowed Nikki to share the love of Christ through diverse styles of music.
From 2018 to this present day, Nikki collaborates with different music artists, songwriters, creatives, and rights holders to develop fundraising partnerships with several non-profit charities, organizations and initiatives. Nikki’s passion to creatively collaborate allowed her to earn a Masters in Business Administration, in 2019, focusing on Project Management. Collaboration evolved into meaningful business relationships, resulting in the creation of the “N2A Micro-Giving” campaign. N2A Micro-Giving provided marketing opportunities for artists, songwriters and labels, via donated royalties, while engaging in micro-fundraising opportunities for charities. N2A Micro-Giving further encompasses original songs and arrangements commercially released, compositions administered by N2A Publishing and projects where digital distribution and royalties are managed by N2A Affiliates.
As each new day approaches, Nikki, through N2A, is prepared to embark on a new journey; a journey to spread joy, peace, and Christ’s limitless love, resulting in a positive lifestyle, through the medium of music.
