Nikole Mettro
RapperNicole Watson aka Nikole Mettro was born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina. Born February 3, 1990, the young female R&B and Hip-hop artist has a passion to explore the depths of Hip-hop music. Nikole Mettro is a young and motivated emcee who dreams of selling out arenas and reaching the top of all music charts. Mettro has been rapping and singing since the young age of two when her grandmother asked her to sing for her. Her influences are Kanye West, Lauryn Hill, Will.I.Am, and Drake. She writes her own music and she has performed in local clubs located in Charleston, and Greenville, South Carolina as well as local spots in Atlanta, Georgia from year 2010 to 2013. Mettro has released two mix tapes; "So Magical" in 2010 and "Lost in Outer Space" in 2011. In 2012, Mettro was blown away by the talent and stylings of local rapper Kid Cool. It was then that Mettro wanted to start her label, "Alien Nation," and sign Kid Cool. Later in 2013, Mettro added two more talents, Phresh, and Dean Alsetto and recruited DJ Killa'JJ as the primary Producer. Mettro's music is played on the radio in her hometown Charleston, SC and she longs to be heard all over the world. Her musical topic ranges from club bangers and love songs to a bit of conscience music. She calls herself “Mettro” because she likes to brush up on all topics of living in a metropolitan area i.e. clubs, love, lust, break-up, drugs, alcohol, etc. She rapp's, sing's, and writes her own music which makes her a triple threat. She strongly feels like the rap game should be aware of her presence once she hits the map because the only place she's going is to the top!
