Nikki Hornsby's previous CD release here on CD Baby is called "Reaching Out" of original country songs. It is called Positive country because the instrumentation is country but the message is one of Faith. This project was started when Nikki's Uncle wrote the lyrics to "The Power of the Lord" & "My God Is Your God" for her to add the music to record in order to raise funds for a heart transplant for her older brother. Unfortunately the financial backing & time to complete the project wasn't there before her older brother passed away not seeing the completed CD. The Mantra used at that time for "Reaching Out": Come Join the Positive Wave, Spread the Word, buy "Reaching Out" through CDBaby! Now there are two more CDs that followed this one.

Marty Rifkin plays many instruments on each of these "Reaching Out" songs as well as co produced it with Nikki. Repeating the same for "Just Wait" 2006 release. Marty also worked on Jewel's Gold & Platinum LPs plus worked in studio with other named recording artists like Tom Petty, & the Boss, as well. Check his musicians credits online through the All Music Guide www.allmusic.com

Nikki herself has been honored to work with many named professional musicians on her CJP-NHRecords previous radio charted releases as well as worked live on stage with many too. 2006 Nikki released TWO MORE CDs full of original professional recorded & commerically songs and plans to record at least 5 more full of her different writing styles of music.

Once a reporter said "Nikki has a clear, strong, vocal & writes songs ready for anyone to sing with strong hooks and melody lines." Her fulltime performance list & many letters of recommendation shows her abilities to reach her listeners live as well as hold their interest in all venues. She can duplicate this as well in the studio as you will see in "Just Wait" 2006 release of Pop, Jazzy Blues, Folk, one Country song & a straight Rock tune doing the background harmony vocals as well as her arrangement of different instruments in each song.
