Editor's note

Nikki Yanofsky, Montreal singer with jazz and soul roots

A vocalist who started as a teen, known for the 2010 pop single 'Kaboom Pow' and collaborations with Quincy Jones.

For a quick sense of her sound, 'Kaboom Pow' and 'Bienvenue Dans Ma Vie' frame it well. The first is that pop burst, the second leans into her jazz side.

Her 2010 single 'Kaboom Pow' became her most recognizable track, with its upbeat rhythm and pop energy. She's worked with musicians including Quincy Jones and Herbie Hancock, blending jazz and soul influences into her vocal style. Songs like 'Bienvenue Dans Ma Vie' and 'Necessary Evil' show her range beyond that early hit.

She started performing as a teenager from Montreal. Her self-titled debut album came out in 2010, followed by 'Little Secret' in 2014. She continues to perform with a band that has included guitarist Jon Levine and others.

Nikki Yanofsky is a singer from Montreal who started performing as a teenager. Her 2010 single 'Kaboom Pow' became her most recognizable track, with its upbeat rhythm and pop energy. That same year she released her self-titled debut album, followed by 'Little Secret' in 2014.

Her music draws from jazz and soul influences, with a vocal style that nods to classic performers. Beyond 'Kaboom Pow,' she's recorded songs like 'Bienvenue Dans Ma Vie' and 'Necessary Evil,' and contributed to the charity single 'Wavin Flag (Young Artists for Haiti).'

In 2013, her performance of 'Kaboom Pow' at the BET Awards drew criticism and allegations of cultural appropriation.
