Nicole "Nikki" Yanofsky (born February 8, 1994) is a Canadian jazz-pop singer-songwriter from Montreal, Quebec. Yanofsky has released two live, two studio albums, and one extended play to date. She sang the CTV theme song for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, "I Believe", and performed at the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics, as well as at the 2010 Winter Paralympic Games Opening Ceremony.
Yanofsky recorded the Ella Fitzgerald classic "Airmail Special" for Verve Records and it was released in June 2007 on the album We All Love Ella: Celebrating the First Lady of Song. Produced by Tommy LiPuma, this track made Yanofsky the youngest singer ever to record for Verve. Yanofsky then recorded "Gotta Go My Own Way" in English and French for Walt Disney's smash hit High School Musical 2. The track was included as bonus material on the worldwide release of the Blu-ray, DVD and Soundtrack CD. Following that, she collaborated with Herbie Hancock and will.i.am (from The Black Eyed Peas) to record a crossover version of the swing era hit "Stompin' at the Savoy". It was released on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's audio book, On the Shoulders of Giants.
