Nicole Yvette

NicoleYvette is a Seattle-based jazz singer, songwriter, and bandleader. Raised in Southern California, she began singing in her father’s church as a child — a foundation of spiritual intimacy and emotional directness that has never left her. Before coming to Seattle, NicoleYvette performed throughout Denver as a founding member of Dave LeMieux and House of Soul, a 14-piece jazz ensemble that toured nationally and internationally, and as a worship leader in some of the city’s largest churches. She has also been featured as a vocalist with Denver Brass. In Seattle, she has headlined sold-out shows, held residencies at beloved local venues, and built a reputation as one of the city’s distinctive jazz voices. Her debut solo album Say Yes — produced by three-time GRAMMY® winner Sara Gazarek and featuring Kurt Elling, Terri Lyne Carrington, Joel Ross, Keyon Harrold, and more — arrives in 2026.
