Nicki Vibes is a singer, songwriter and rapper from Sussex who has seen an early passion for music grow into an affection for writing songs. The artist has battled through anxiety and PTSD to get to where she is today, and her debut track’s proceeds will go to Heads On which is the official charity of the Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.
Debuting artist Nicki Vibes has just released her deeply emotional single ‘Anxiety In The Brain’. Showcasing massive vulnerability, Nicki dives into her own experiences suffering from mental health issues like anxiety and depression. Twinkling piano lines, warm bass and tight, dynamic drums create the backdrop for Nicki’s blend of rapped and sung vocals. The lyricism is in depth and thought-provoking, guiding others who may be struggling to the light at the end of the tunnel and showing a level of optimism one can only achieve by making it through themselves.
Nicki explains, “My music is what helps me release how I feel at that moment, and anything that I have gone through in my life and situations I’ve dealt with and fought through.
The lyrics I write are my diary and what I deal with daily. I wrote ‘Anxiety In The Brain’ because it details my own experiences dealing with anxiety, but I also hope that others who are experiencing the same things can relate to the song and find comfort in the track by realising they are not alone.”
The track is being sponsored by Sussex’s Focus Foundation, the charitable side of Focus Group. Chris Goodman, the founder of the Focus Foundation, shared:
“I’m thrilled to be supporting Nicki with the release of this track. We met last year when she performed as a contestant at our talent show fundraiser ‘Sussex Superstars’. With mental health being one of our key funding pillars, I was inspired to try to help Nicki get her message out there and her voice heard. As someone who has suffered with anxiety for many years I hope that Nicki’s music will inspire others to talk openly about mental health and reduce the stigma that still remains.”
