David Norris set to produce Nichole Cooper

Posted by editor on Nov 28, 2011

Every so often the planets and stars align just right to allow for two souls to come together in perfect chemistry & intense artistry. This is definitely the case when David Norris & Nichole Cooper met for the first time and decided to join forces. Late nights and uninhibited songwriting have proved to be an unstoppable momentum for these two regarding theme, genre, wit, & crafty pop songs that don’t sound like the old beat up norm.

“I just love writing with her” explains David “she brings an energy into the room that lights up the muse. She’s not afraid of any subject, and I think this album is going to be trend setting because of it. Besides, it’s just fun for me to draw from our different retro rock and roll influences. She is definitely one of a kind in my book and I’m blessed to work with her.”

Nichole has basically been an entertainer all of her life, writing song ideas since she was four years old. Progressively getting better through the years, she decided to get a degree at Portland State University in theater arts and business administration. Nichole was also an early finalist on the hit TV show American Idol. She cut her first self titled blues album in Oregon and toured diligently as the band leader to support the sales. If that’s not enough, she was a burlesque singer and performer at a wildly popular weekly cabaret in downtown Portland.

“I’m stoked to make this album.” states Cooper “These tunes are so true to my soul and I can’t believe how well this vision is unfolding. Of the many talented producers in Nashville, David really stood out for me. He is such a musical chameleon, and it’s a big dream come true to be working with such a kindred spirit. The project is dynamic and well rounded and this record is going to ROCK & BEYOND!”

A slave to the arts is not for the faint of heart, but she has been pulling it off successfully for years. You have to completely have it in your heart to keep your dream alive in such an oversatured market. Years of self discipline, development, and rehearsing goes into this if you want to do it on a grand scale, and she has made some very realistic goals for herself and works extremely hard to see it all come into fruition. Packing up her life and moving to Nashville is a true testament to her faith in her skill set. Some say it’s a 10 year town, she’s been here for 8 months and is already embarking on an amazing album project. Personally, I think she’s going to prove that theory wrong. Please help me in welcoming this amazing talent into the Norrisong family.

Here is their first solid production effort together…special thanks to Andrew Rozario & CJ Watson
