NICOLE OTERO
View Nicole's Picture Gallery

As Label owner of Lovebreak Music and DJ/Producer, Nicole Otero is marking her sound in the dance music industry.  It has been six years since she has begun her DJ career playing all over the NYC area and overseas. As a native New Yorker with Ecuadorian and Bolivian roots, Nicole has been seriously involved with music since day one.  Studying classical piano since the age of 4, and being influenced by all the dance music in the 80’s and 90’s, it was only a matter of time before she decided to enroll in the Music Technology Program at NYU, where she studied sound engineering and electronic music.  While studying sound production at NYU, Nicole decided to start playing all the records she was buying and began a radio show at WNYU called “The Move”.  Within a couple of years of Djing out, Nicole was playing major NYC clubs and in Europe .  During this time Nicole was working along side Jon Cutler at Distant Music were she was Label Manager for two years.  With the experience she got from working at Distant, Nicole was inspired to someday start her own label where she could debut her own music as a producer and song writer.  That day has finally arrived with her first release on Lovebreak called “Sunshine Song”. Nicole has a string of her own original releases to come out in 2006 so watch out for this budding producer.

Nicole’s 1  1/2 yr monthly residency at NYC APT. (Apartment) with Chez Music owner Neil Aline, was a no other way of putting it but “Hot” party that really displayed Nicole’s appeal as a DJ and performer.

“Yeah, Nicole is good….she plays better than most of the guys in New York .”
