Nothing But You, Nicky grew up in Japan, but relocated half the world away, heading for the sunny shores of California. Currently, she is based in San Francisco, where she lives and works on her musical craft.
Nicky’s performative approach is direct and inspired: her songs are honest and personal, while her far-reaching vocal performances exude feeling and emotion, with a really expressive sense of musicianship, inspired by legendary performers such as Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Whitney Houston or Celine Dion, just to mention but a few.

Initially, she collaborated with a producer as a duo, but later focused on her solo work, performing music with an eclectic range of influences and a kaleidoscopic vibe!
Nothing But You, Nicky has announced the release of her upcoming album, I LOVE YOU ON MY OWN on April 6, 2018. The album is currently available via all digital channels.
The album was composed by Multi-award winning composer Emine Sari (www.eminemusic.com), produced by Cihat Atlig, with vocal production and engineering by Multi-platinum winning engineer Joel Evenden (Eric Clapton, Lara Fabian, Rod Stewart, BB King…), features the distinctive voice of Nicky, nee Kiyomi Ishii. “I Love You On My Own” is the follow-up album to Nothing But You’s single, “On My Own,” which soared to Number 1 on iTunes’ Blues charts in Japan and Turkey and currently #119 on DRT Global Top 200 Airplay Chart!
Nothing But You has been granted “Best Lyric” and "Adult Contemporary" awards by the Global Music Awards (GMA) for her song "On My Own" from the album “I Love You On My Own”.
Nicky is enthused to work with Emine Sari. “I feel blessed having been able to work with my friend, Emine Sari on this single,” says Nicky. “She is truly a legend and a highly gifted music-composer! To have Emine collaborate with me on my music is a dream come true!” When asked why people should care about their music Nicky is quick to respond, “We just do what we love, we put our lives in our music. We hope that our fans & the world connects.”
“With her musical talent, Nicky will soon be known as a gifted singer,” says Emine Sari. “She is bringing something new and fresh to the music scene. People are going to love her new single.”
It promises to be a busy summer for her with a series of gigs across the USA with a special show planned on March 31, 2018, which is Saturday, 6.30 at Piano Fight in San Francisco, CA…
