Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Mercedes Nicole

Mercedes Nicole is a dynamic vocalist whose music radiates passion, soul, and emotional truth. With more than a decade of live performance experience and four acclaimed studio albums under her belt, she has crafted a sound that not only entertains but uplifts. Her voice has become a vessel for healing, hope, and the kind of high-energy connection that leaves audiences feeling inspired and seen.

Mercedes’s musical journey began in the heart of the church, where the power of gospel music first stirred her spirit. From there, she developed a deep love for jazz standards, studying and performing the timeless works of the genre’s greats. Over time, her sound began to evolve—infused with the storytelling soul of the blues and the spiritual urgency of gospel music. This rich blend of genres has shaped her into a fearless and expressive artist with a style that is uniquely her own.

Drawing inspiration from legends like Sarah Vaughan and Aretha Franklin, Mercedes blends classic vocal influences with a modern sense of purpose. Her upcoming project, a gospel-inspired album set for release on July 4th, represents a powerful creative leap. It’s her boldest and most personal work to date—an album that speaks to the resilience of the human spirit and the need for connection in uncertain times.

With a voice that can soothe or shake the soul, Mercedes Nicole is stepping confidently into a new chapter. She’s setting her sights on international stages, bringing her message of love and empowerment to festivals, cultural gatherings, and high-profile events around the world. Whether she’s delivering a tender ballad or a foot-stomping anthem, Mercedes continues to affirm her place as a compelling storyteller and an artist with a mission.
