About Stevie Nicole

Stevie Nicole is a disabled singer-songwriter based in the Washington, DC area whose introspective folk-inspired songwriting explores themes of chronic illness, grief, resilience, and hope. Living with multiple chronic illnesses has profoundly shaped both her perspective and her creative process, inspiring songs that embrace vulnerability while offering comfort to listeners navigating life's hardest seasons. Influenced by artists including Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Eva Cassidy, and Taylor Swift, Stevie Nicole blends acoustic warmth with poetic lyricism to create music that invites listeners to slow down, feel deeply, and find light in unlikely places.

Although her debut album Rise was released in 2025, Stevie's musical journey began in childhood with formal voice lessons at age eight and continued through high school, graduating from Woodbridge, VA’s Center for the Fine and Performing Arts program with a concentration in vocal music. She has performed in venues worldwide ranging from Walt Disney World alongside Whoopi Goldberg to London's Landmark Arts Centre and St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin. Rise, a twelve-song collection centered on resilience and chronic illness, was recorded at Sine Studios in Philadelphia with producer Matt Teacher and marked her arrival as a recording artist committed to authentic, purpose-driven music.

As a disabled independent artist, Stevie hopes to expand disability representation within the singer-songwriter community by writing honestly about the realities of chronic illness while reminding audiences that joy, creativity, and connection can coexist with disability. In addition to local shows in the Washington DC area, she performs weekly acoustic music livestreams in an effort to improve accessibility of live music for audiences of all abilities. She will be recording new original music for her 2nd album in Nashville in 2026 with producer Dean Miller, continuing to build a catalog that reflects both vulnerability and hope.
