Nikisha Williams, a native of Mobile, Ala., got her start in music playing piano and alto saxophone, but found her way to singing, specifically, musical theater. Her first show, Little Shop of Horrors, became the catalyst to pursuing a degree in music at The University of Southern Mississippi. There, she performed in the Southern Opera and Musical Theatre Company’s production of Sweeney Todd. After graduation, she headed the choral department at White Station High School before moving to New York City where she booked her first national tour as a swing in The Color Purple. From there, she became part of the Philip Touring Company of Hamilton: An American Musical, as an ensemblist and understudying all of the Schuyler Sisters. The connections made while moving to New York has afforded Nikisha the opportunity to perform with musical theater stars such as Jeremy Jordan, Shoshana Bean, Natalie Wiess, Titus Burgess, and André De Shields to name a few. Recent credit includes singing Ratatouille: The TikTok Musical.
