Biography
Nicola Howard trained as an actress after graduating from Royal Holloway, University of London with a degree in Drama. Alongside her theatrical training, she has studied singing with a number of distinguished teachers, including Neil Jenkins and Jessica Cash.
Although she enjoys a wide range of vocal repertoire, Nicola’s first love is theatre, and she is particularly drawn to the storytelling and emotional depth of musical theatre and cabaret song.
Nicola currently lives and works in Madrid where she teaches Drama and performs in her spare time (though there is very little of it!).
