AboutNikki Flores (born October 17, 1988) is an American Independent pop, R&B singer, pianist, songwriter, and actress.

Nikki Flores landed a music contract with Epic Records when she was 17 years old in 2005. Her parents—both musicians themselves—encouraged her talent by allowing her to record in the family's home studio and by age 12, she had written her first song ("Cry").

She had originally planned to release her debut album in Fall 2005 with the first single Strike, where Flores sings in both English and Spanish. The song was released on her EP titled, Sampler as well as appearing in the 2006 movie Aquamarine's soundtrack. However, Flores' debut album was shelved and she was dropped from Epic Records.

She was then signed to Ryan Tedder's own Patriot Records which is a subsidiary label under Universal Republic.

Flores collaborated with producer Brian Kennedy (Rihanna, Chris Brown, Ciara) in 2009 to create her biggest (and most personal) song to date, Let It Slide, with over 18,000,000 viral views. She claims to be most proud of this song because of how relatable it is to her audience. "I was only writing about something that was so true for me in my life at that time. I released it on a whim and the response I got was overwhelming." she says. "The messages I receive from girls all over the world, telling me that my song saved them from going back to an abusive relationship, or gave them the strength they needed to move on, is exactly why I do what I do. Music reaches so many people, and I'm so proud to spread a positive message."

In 2012, Tedder and Flores parted ways when his label dissolved. Flores did eventually release independently what was supposed to have been her debut album titled, This Girl.
That same year, she'd co-wrote and was featured on Roses by Nas for his eleventh studio album, Life Is Good. "Life Is Good" appeared on several critics' year-end top albums lists. It was named the best album of 2012 by The Source and Okayplayer. The album was also ranked #18 by Rolling Stone, #12 by Complex, #16 by James Montgomery of MTV, #6 by Martin Caballero of The Boston Globe, and #7 by Jon Caramanica of The New York Times. It received a Grammy Award nomination in the category of "Best Rap Album" for the 2013 Grammy Awards. And was also nominated for Album of the Year at the 2013 BET Hip Hop Awards.

In 2013, she recorded and was credited under the pseudonym "Photronique" for songs, Hello, Dare You To Love, Midnight Magic, Pretty Tragedy, Rock Me Stupid and Forever In Love - which were on the album, "Superpop (Truly Madly Deeply)".

In 2015, Flores was a part of writing on many critically acclaimed records - with Namie Amuro selling over 500k and going #1 in Japan with her album Genic, Måns Zelmerlöw recorded Perfectly Damaged which hit #1 in Sweden, Jake Miller releasing two EP's - Lion Heart and Rumors - both going #1 on iTunes in the US, and III (pronounced Tringle) - a triple single extended play by American recording artist JoJo with featuring song Save My Soul. The latter song was written by Flores and praised by media outlets such as Billboard, Rap Up and Idolator.

10 years after being signed for the first time, Nikki Flores is currently pursuing a full-time career as a songwriter under the direction of BMG Publishing and manager India Allen, and is in the studio with Swedish writing/production team The Family (Linnea Deb, Joy Deb, Anton Malmberg Hård af Segerstad) and producer/guitarist Blake Stranathan writing her debut independent solo project.

In recent media, "Forever In Love" is featured in the 2016 video game Watch Dogs 2.
