Everything about Nikka Costa totally explained
Nikka Costa (born
Domenica Costa,
June 4,
1972 in
Tokyo,
Japan), is an
American singer whose music combines elements of
funk,
soul, and
blues.
Nikka Costa recorded her first single 45rpm record in
Italy in
1981 with the song
"(Out Here) On My Own" (from the musical
Fame), which rose to #1 on European charts in September of that year and stayed on the top spots for several weeks.
Audiences in the United States hadn't yet been exposed to her until her song "
Like A Feather" was featured in a
Tommy Hilfiger television
advertising campaign. That exposure coupled with the track's music video helped launch her U.S. music career. The album
Everybody Got Their Something managed to garner another radio hit with the title track.
In 2006 Nikka and her husband Justin recorded and performed the theme to the short-lived
CBS sitcom "
Courting Alex", which starred
Jenna Elfman.
Costa is currently signed with EMI Records.

Don Costa, an

Frank Sinatra, a close friend of her father's, was her godfather. She is married to her songwriting partner and producer
Justin Stanley, and in late
September 2006 gave birth to their first child, a daughter named Sugar McQueen.
