Biography

Niki Barr is an American musician from Denton, Maryland. Niki began writing, performing, and recording at age 15 and soon after, began working with Mike Marucci of Marucci Artist Management. He introduced Niki to producer, Jim Ebert (Butch Walker, Meredith Brooks, Cowboy Mouth). Jim and Niki worked together on a few records: 'The Other Side of Me' (EP), 'Lush', and 'Go' (EP). 'Lush' was Niki's first full-length record. The record included co-written songs with Butch Walker, The Matrix (record production team), Wizardz of Oz, Mathew Gerrard, and Stephen Lironi. The single 'Wasted Time' became the #1 single on Sky Radio in the UK for over 6 weeks. Soon after, 'Go' was released as an EP and it managed to sit atop Sky Radio for over 8 weeks in the UK.

Through her manager and friends, Niki joined forces with guitarist Island Styles, bassist Scott Ensign, and drummer BJ Kerwin to form the Niki Barr Band. Together, the band wrote, recorded, and produced their latest EP 'Bloom'. In support of the records, the band has shared stages with acts like Joan Jett, Paramore, The Offspring, The Cult, Papa Roach, Shinedown, Puddle of Mudd, Third Eye Blind, and Red Jumpsuit Aparatus. The band is also no stranger to rigorous touring. They've recently completed their 11th international tour with the Armed Forces Entertainment, performing for the US Troops in the Middle East, Japan, UK, and many other countries throughout Europe and Southeast Asia. The tours brought the band support from Billboard Magazine, Rolling Stone Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, and NPR Radio's “Border Crossings with Larry London".
