Pop singer and dancer Nicole Scherzinger was born Nicole Elikolani Prescovia Scherzinger on June 29, 1978, in Honolulu, HI, but was raised mostly in Louisville, KY, moving there at age six with her mom after her parents separated. Scherzinger (who is of Hawaiian, Russian, and Filipino descent) went to a performing arts high school and, following graduation, enrolled at Wright State University in Dayton, OH. Majoring in theater arts and dance, she eventually put college on hold to pursue music, initially serving as a backing vocalist for the late-'90s rock group Days of the New.
In an interview with The Daily Mail, Scherzinger explained that she had been brought up with a strict religious (Roman Catholic) upbringing in Hawaii. She first attended Meyzeek Middle School as an adolescent. Growing up, Scherzinger states that she didn't have a lot of money and the singer thanks her mom for all the support she gave her to become what she is today. Scherzinger began performing in Louisville, attending the Youth Performing Arts School at DuPont Manual High School and performing with Actors Theatre of Louisville. As a teenager, Scherzinger was the first runner-up at the 1996 Kentucky State Fair's Coca-Cola Talent Classic contest. Scherzinger majored in acting and musical theatre at Wright State University, where she played Velma Kelly in Chicago and Julie La Verne in Show Boat but put her studies on hold in 1999 to sing backing vocals for the rock band Days of the New.
Nicole had been working on her debt album from 2006 to late 2008. The album was titled in her name. For the album she wrote around 75 - 100 songs and recorded it, which was supposed to be released in 2007 before being pushed to October 16, 2008 and later into 2009.
Internationally the single fared well reaching Top 15 in most countries including the UK, and mainland Europe. The third single, "Supervillain", and the fourth single, "Puakenikeni" (a type of flower in Hawaii), was released iTunes in November, but failed to chart. In 2009 the album was officially cancelled and shelved.
In 2010 Nicole continue pursuing her solo career and release her debut studio album, Killer Love, on March 18, 2011 through Interscope Records. Killer Love was preceded by the release of the Red One-produced lead single, "Poison" which was quite successful in international territories. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, it respectively peaked at number three and number seven becoming one of Scherzinger's best charting solo singles. It received mainly positive critical reception. It was followed by second single, "Don't Hold Your Breath" in March 2011, which debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart. Now Nicole is back to her pop life. Nicole Scherzinger will begin to focus on her US fans and is currently preparing her US edition of her album 'Killer Love' and the singer said that she will be revisiting her roots, and give it an "urban" edge. The former Pussycat Dolls singer is planning on adding four or five new songs to the album ahead of its release in the US this summer, including her track with 50 Cent, 'Right There'.
When she was asked about her marriage, she told her fans: "The guy who marries me is going to be with me forever because I am very traditional." "There's no rush. I just want to make sure it is the right time for everything. And I'm really married to my work. It takes up all of my time." The work Nicole is talking about is the latest projects of her including competing on the new season of Dancing with the Stars. Nicole Scherzinger finds being a solo artist more relaxing, though she admits she felt like the "queen" of former group Pussycat Dolls.
