Nikki Webster Introduced to the world as the girl who flew at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games; Nikki's had an extremely successful music-recording career with ARIA nominated gold and platinum hits! The Australian pop charts weren't the only lists Nikki was appearing on. In Late 2002, Nikki was named #10 on Who Weekly's entertainment industry "power list". She also became the face of the “Movieworld” Theme Park, (Australia's answer to Universal Studios) Nikki was also ranked 5th in the 2005 "FHM 100 sexiest woman" poll with her new grown up image, been the face of a range of makeup for young teens and....she's only 20-years-old. At the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony, the world watched in as a tiny pale figure with little blonde curls and big innocent-eyes, walked to the center of the Olympic Stadium clad in a cute pink sundress, laid down on the “beach,” and began to dream. Before a live audience of 110,000 and 3.7 billion global viewers, the petite school-girl began to rise. The crowds held their breath as the fearless 13-year-old “Hero Girl” flew eight-stories high; fly swimming through the magnificent display of sea creatures, her voice ringing through the air “like an angel”.
At just 20 years of age, Nikki has already made an indelible mark on the Australian Entertainment Industry, as well as winning the hearts of countless throughout the world. After her outstanding performance at both the Opening and Closing ceremonies, Nikki received her own Olympic Gold from the successful release of the Olympic hit singles “We'll be one” and “Under Southern Skies.” Another achievement added to a career that had been developing since Nikki was a toddler; but it was the Olympics that sped everything up. By the time Nikki had turned 10 she had tucked numerous commercials under her belt, had performed a duet with Michael Jackson, and had already toured with pantomime productions of “Aladdin” and “Cinderella,” as well as such famed musicals as “Les Miserables” and “The Sound of Music.” After her success with the Olympics, recording companies began competing to sign her up, and Nikki settled on an exclusive worldwide recording contract with Gotham Records/BMG Australia Ltd in November 2000. |
Both the ‘Follow Your Heart' album and ‘Strawberry Kisses' single were ARIA nominated in the Highest Selling Album/Single categories in 2001. She was also awarded the John O'Keefe Encouragement Award at the prestigious ‘Mo' Awards, and the Variety Heart Award for Young Entertainer of The Year. With her “in-demand” success, Nikki began making guest appearances all over Australia, and became the spokesperson for a number of different charities including The Spastic Centre of NSW and the Kids Helpline. Early 2003 brought an invitation from Disney to record a cover of 'I Wanna be like you' for the Australian version of ‘The Jungle Book 2' soundtrack. Nikki co-choreographed the clip and helped design outfits. Kmart found out about Nikki's interest in clothing design and approached her about designing a range for the “tween” market. (5-10 year-olds) Nikki then began the hunt for fashion samples throughout the USA and Europe. Her first clothing label was released nationwide with instant success through Kmart stores in August 2003.
