“We still do music together. We still plan on releasing music together”
Nikki further explained how meaningful music was for her. The singer shared, “And the love of music really came from an early age. My father plays bass, my mother sings Italian opera. So, the house was always full of music. And I’ve just had a love for it. And it’s almost like a second language to me. It really is. It’s a universal language, music.”
The songwriter was then asked about the process of going solo and she shared how her brother and she decided to go solo. She shared, “We had a band, and my brother and I kind of decided it was time to take a little bit of a break. We both went in different directions.”

The entrepreneur responded, “We came up with it. It was kind of like telling your secret mind that is telling you the thoughts of your heart and your soul on paper. In music, it is much different than being able to actually tell people outright so we named the band secret mind.”
