Early life
Nneka Renacole Rice was born on January 27, 1985 in Gallatin, Tennessee. Raised in a MusicAL family, she would spend most of her early years singing in various church choirs at Key-Stewart United Methodist Church. As a teen, Nacole mastered the art of performing under the direction of her vocal coach Vera Warrick. Warrick would later develop an all-female quartet Shadz of U, which featured childhood friends Chandra Boone, Selina Robb, Kimberly Locke and a young Nacole. The group went on to becoming local sensations throughout the Nashville area. Shadz of U is featured on Kimberly Locke’s “Everyday Angels” off her sophomore album “Based on a True Story” in 2007. In late 2011, a chance meeting with up and coming producer Jred at a music convention would result in Nacole Rice signing with Cartel Music Group, a subsidiary of Twenty Two Recordings/Capitol Records in February 2012. Since signing with CMG, Nacole went immediately to work on her upcoming projects and hasn't come up for air since.
