    Nicolas was born in Nashville, Tennessee, the second of seven children and took to music as a sanctuary. For the past 20 years, he has delighted audiences with his vocal acrobatics as a member of Bobby McFerrins' renowned A capella choral ensemble, "Voicestra", while carving out his own solo career. Nicolas seamlessly blends musical genres, fusing jazz, blues and soul, and his big velvet tone has thrilled audiences around the world with his soulful interpretations.

    In 1997, Nicolas formed his own label, Right Groove Records, in order to launch his solo projects, and has released 3 widely acclaimed CD's, "Crossing the Line", "All About Love" and Live at Yoshi's - A Salute to Lou" ( a tribute to Lou Rawls), on that imprint.

    Bearde also maintains a busy sideline as an educator, actor and voice-over artist and has compiled an impressive list of credits that includes film roles in True Crimes with Clint Eastwood, Final Analysis with Richard Gere and Kim Basinger, and roles on the television series Nash Bridges and Monk.

    As a teenager, Jacqueline enjoyed telling stories to her younger cousins. To this day, they describe her as a master storyteller. So, it wasn't a surprise to her family when she began writing. An avid reader and lover of books, Jacqueline is an excellent cook, aspiring photographer, and world traveler. She lives in Oakland and, though she loves all of the friends there, she takes frequent breaks to fly off to foreign destinations.

    Good Housekeeping selected Jacqueline's latest novel, PASSING LOVE as a February Book Pick. Jacqueline is also the author of SEARCHING FOR TINA TURNER.

    People Magazine, " Beautifully written and filled with vibrant scenes of Paris in it's Jazz Age and today, Luckett's PASSIVE LOVE is a treat"
