Bucks Music Group has signed songwriter and recording artist Nikki Ambers to a music publishing administration deal.
Having started her career as part of a trio named SoundGirl, Ambers went solo at 16 under the moniker of Little Nikki. She went on to earn early sync placements on Boohoo adverts with songs Little Nikki Says and Yoyo.
Ambers has penned a number of songs for global stars including Towers on Little Mix’s 2013 album Salute, and NCT U’s K-pop hit Baby Don’t Stop. She also achieved a UK Top 10 as Little Nikki with DJ Fresh on Make U Bounce, which she co-wrote and featured on.
She released Right Before My Eyes with DJ SKT in 2013, and went on to write and provide vocals for 2019 house anthem In My Arms with Ferreck Dawn & Robosonic and 2022’s Higher, teaming up with DJ Fresh once again and producer/DJ Used.
As a performer, Ambers has toured with artists including Justin Bieber, Jaden Smith, Rita Ora and Rizzle Kicks.
Nikki Ambers said: “I’m incredibly grateful for my journey in music so far and thrilled to be working with Bucks. The team came highly recommended by DJ Fresh, and I’m excited about what we’ll create together.”
