Nike Jemiyo is a singer - songwriter who trained as a pianist since the tender age of 7. Born and raised in London, Nike Jemiyo began song-writing before the age of 13. Then, she was studying at CYM, Pimlico - The Centre for Young Musicians where she attended piano, musical theory and song-writing classes. At this time Kirk Franklin, Cece Winans, Brandy and Whitney Houston were her musical inspirations.
As a pianist and writer, she was mentored under Chris Wilson (a producer and musician from The Royal College of Music, London) who quickly realised Nike’s talent and took her under his wing. During her time at the Musical Institute Nike performed at venues including St John’s Smiths Square, The Young Vic and The Broadway Theatre to name a few. At 15 years of age Nike went further on to record at the Abbey Road studios for the soundtrack to the film DOGMA starring Matt Damon.
