Alycia Nichole's Professional Success and Exposure
Earlier this year the budding starlet auditioned and won a trip to Platinum Sound Studios in New York City to vibe with Grammy Award winning musician Wyclef Jean. Wyclef held a Twitter BubbleTweet contest where entrants sent in 30 second clips meant to impress. Alycia Nichole was one of eight winners.
The talent amongst the musicians was amazing and Alycia Nichole stated she was "honored to share [the] amazing opportunity with others." She set out to make something "beautiful and powerful happen in NY." After recording, Wyclef told her that her voice is like "musical silk." Her beautiful voice, wonderful being, and hard work had paid off and exposure from then on has increased and intensified. She has a voice that anyone can appreciate, anywhere.
Single Suddenly Breaks FM and Online Radio Scenes
"Suddenly" has effortlessly hopped up the indie charts. iHeartRadio was an instrumental part in Alycia Nichole's indie circuit success. A fan on Twitter tipped her off to the online radio channel, which is owned by Clear Channel, and is comprised of over 350 radio stations. "Suddenly" rapidly became the #1 requested song on iHeartRadio's unsigned Hit List and #1 on the Hip-Hop and R&B charts. "Suddenly"'s radio success has not been limited to iHeartRadio, the single also gained the top spot for listener requested music on Los Angeles' Indie 104.
However, the big win for an independent musician is to break onto the FM radio airways. Recent studies by The Center For Media Research indicate that about 80% of music discovery takes place on terrestrial radio. Alycia Nichole got her FM debut on Santa Barbara's KJEE 92.9 FM when DJ Cool Ruler invited the artist into the studio for an interview and for back-to-back spins of the hypnotizing single.
