Mrs. Kemp was born into a musical family, learning and performing piano and voice from a very early age. It wasn’t long before she was a trusted assistant of her dear mother Laura, whose highly sought after piano program regularly blessed over forty full-time students. After high school, Nicole pursued a law degree, but her deep love for music never left her heart.
After spending several years as a practicing attorney, she attended San Diego State University for vocal pedagogy classes under former Metropolitan Opera singer Mary Mackenzie, additionally studying at her private vocal studio. At this time she developed her own music program for piano and vocal students, including a Choral Ensemble. In addition to private events, Nicole has performed at the College Church in Wheaton, with the San Diego Master Chorale and with the Shadow Mountain Community Church Choir.
Her three children also now share a passion for music and one of the great joys of her life remains inspiring others to excellence as they foster their own love for music!
