WILD Profile: Nicole Simone and The Art of Mystery

by: Diana Cenat

Who: Nicole Simone
What: Singer/Songwriter
Where: Los Angeles, CA

What’s on your mind today?
My dream last night.

What are you currently working on?
Mixing my new songs, getting ready to make a new music video, and shooting a guest-starring role on Glee.

What do you think there is too much of, and too little of?
Too much divulgence, too little mystery.

With whom would you like most to go on a tête à tête?
Dali seems fun.

What’s your earliest memory?
Disneyland.

What is your most striking moment?
Singing for David Lynch at his dinner party, filled with all his muses. And then singing in Paris for the first time at his club, Silencio. Opening for Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Their fans gave me their hearts and it was otherworldly.

What do you consider a fashion “faux-pas”?
No such thing as long as you have a wink in your eye.

With whom would you like to grow old?
Everyone I adore.

What is your WILD Wish?
All of it and more…
