Sheila Nicholls
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sheila Nicholls is a British singer/songwriter born in Colchester, England.
Nicholls came to the United States in her late teens; and began performing with a band, Sheila Nicholls and the Splendid Frock, in New York City in the mid-nineties. She then moved to Los Angeles where she recorded a solo album, the critically acclaimed Brief Strop, and started her own label, Essex Girl Records.
Shortly thereafter, Nicholls signed a deal with Hollywood Records, which began distributing Brief Strop. The song "Fallen for You," from the album, became a hit on College Radio stations and found its way onto the best-selling soundtrack for the movie High Fidelity.
In mid-2002, Nicholls released her second album, Wake, in which she worked with producer Glen Ballard, as well as producer Jez Colin. The album's first single, "Faith," co-written with Ballard, received ample radio play and reached the pop charts.
Sheila Nicholls' third album is due out in mid-to-late 2007.
