Nneka Renacole Rice (born January 27, 1977) known professionally as Nacole Rice is an American R&B/Soul singer.
Nneka Renacole Rice was born on January 27, 1977 in Gallatin, Tennessee. Raised in a musical family, she would spend most of her early years singing in various church choirs at Key-Stewart United Methodist Church. As a teen, Nacole mastered the art of performing under the direction of her vocal coach Vera Warrick. Warrick would later develop an all-female quartet Shadz of U, which featured childhood friends Chandra Boone, Selina Robb, Kimberly Locke and a young Nacole. The group went on to becoming local sensations throughout the Nashville area. Shadz of U is featured on Kimberly Locke’s “Everyday Angels” off her sophomore album “Based on a True Story” in 2007.
On April 10, 2012, Nacole Rice released her first introduction track “For the Road” off her upcoming debut album “Her Story”, which was scheduled for a Late 2013 release but was never released due to conflicts with the label.
