Coming from a culturally flavored island, Neicy grew up listening to many different genres of music both local and international- ranging from soca, calypso, reggae, dancehall, pop, hip-hop and her favorite genre R&B music which led to the beginning of her musical romance at the age of eight years old. She recognized from an early age that she was really good at rhyming which led her to start writing poetry, which later developed into songs. In her later years she became interested in the arts which led her to joining a best village group where she found other related passions like dancing and acting, but music always remained at No.1. Although she never formally took music classes, she owes her knowledge and experience to her constantly researching and mimicking some of her influences educating herself in this field. In love with R&B music, she listened to the late Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Brandy, Janet Jackson, Ashanti, Groups such as Destiny Child, Spice Girls, TLC the list goes on.
