Bio

I was the kid who would delay bedtime by acting out the picture book after my parents read it. I was also the kid who felt invisible at school and would barely talk… until I learned I could sing.

I became an avid theatre kid, and knew I wanted to spend my life immersed in the arts and music. After obtaining a Bachelor of Music in Musical Theatre from Oklahoma City University, I moved to New York and had the adventure of a lifetime there for two years. I learned from some of the greats in the industry, including Matt Farnsworth Voice Studio, and Jenn Waldman. I sang acapella with the New York Holiday Singers and had the opportunity to perform on Good Morning America. I learned the ropes of the New York audition process, and had some unique performance opportunities such as the Trentino Music Festival’s production of Godspell, and various new works showcases.

After some time in the city, I moved back to my hometown in Texas and jumped right into the role of Mary Poppins. Since then, I’ve performed a variety of musical theatre roles, done regional and multi-state commercial and voiceover jobs, and become part of the local independent film scene. I’m always grateful to be part of projects that deliver messages of hope, like Kathie Lee Gifford’s “The Way” (Amazon Prime; Great American Pureflix).

I spent a few years in a long-distance, two-person band called The Chance Encounters. My bandmate and I were connected through a mutual friend, and to this day, we still haven’t met in person.

My current venture as a singer-songwriter is releasing a collection of Christian Pop and Worship songs. My first album is fully written and in the production process! In the meantime, you can catch me singing these songs live at special events, and listen on your favorite music streaming platform (just search Nicole Choate and I’ll be there!).

In addition to music, ministry and the arts, I am passionate about helping others grow in their skills and artistry, and I have the opportunity to do so through my home-based private voice studio.

I remember what it was like to be the kid who felt invisible. It feels like an entirely different life now, but perhaps it was that very season of life that planted a core life goal in my heart: that in everything I do, it would encourage and empower people toward all they are meant to be.
