ABOUT NISE

Nise is a spoken word artist, author, and curator whose work lives at the intersection of healing, truth-telling, and creative liberation. Originally hailing from Inglewood, California and now rooted in Las Vegas, she uses poetry as both mirror and medicine; helping audiences feel seen, understood, and inspired to rise.

​

Her artistry speaks to the heart of womanhood, grief, resilience, and the beauty found in one's nuance. Whether on stage, on the page, or through curated events for youth and emerging artists, Nise builds safe spaces where vulnerability is power and words do more than rhyme; they reach.

​

Her debut spoken word album, Nuance, was praised for its honesty and depth, earning her Spoken Word Artist of the Year at the 2025 Las Vegas Black Music Awards and a 2026 68th Grammy Awards Consideration.

 

Outside of her own artistry, Nise is passionate about creating opportunities for young voices. She serves on the board of Manifest Academy, a nonprofit that gives underserved youth access to education and resources in the recording arts, including music and poetry. She is the curator of GEMS, a youth poetry showcase series that provides a stage for young poets to share their stories, build confidence, and connect with community. She’s been acknowledged for her works in both Poetry and Community from the Las Vegas chapter of the New Era Nation as the recipient of the 2025 Queen Energy Award.

If you’ve ever needed permission to feel, to reflect, or to bloom out loud—her work is for you.
