Nicole Kole Hansen Christensen - welcomehome


Kole
Ten years ago another Jane Doe was dumped at a hospital emergency room after a drug overdose. Her real name was Nicole Hansen, and when she awoke from her coma she knew she desperately needed to turn her life around. A few months later, she won the Miss Utah Teen USA pageant (2001), and so began her journey around the world. Now Kole moves audiences with her story and her music. As an indie artist, she’s obsessed with social networking and the ability to reach her fan base and people who need help in all corners of the globe. In the past year Kole has combined her desire to inspire and the technology at her disposal to engage audiences live and online. As an international speaker, she’s appeared at colleges, universities, national talk shows and military installations. Most recently at Texas A&M and the 2010 Politics Online Conference in Washington DC. Kole also toured Kosovo as a guest of the United Nations and a guest performer on their national Pop Idol singing competition. Through all this Kole has learned that she keeps her life moving in the right direction by helping others turn theirs around.

You have stepped into “The Basement” on 24th street in Ogden, Utah , you don’t know how you got here…but you are so happy you made it. I didn’t know what to expect as I parked in front of The Basement in Ogden, Utah. Northern Utah is still a new scene for me and as I pulled up and situated all my gear in my arms, I try to be unassuming. The second I walked … Read the full post Mar 5, 2010 Add comment Share SXSW Music You Can’t Miss!

All of the ideas, creations and thoughts exploding out. Today, as I searched pictures for a speaking engagement it caught my eye again. This time he seemed exhausted, and almost overwhelmed with all that was pouring out of his head. I must need Bikram Yoga tomorrow me thinkest. Crazy when our perspective changes, or as our lives change, the same piece looks different. We can’t ever lose sight in times of chaos. Right … Read the full post Mar 1, 2010 Add comment Share Indie Musicians, The Journey To the Top, you coming? Finally, Right? You would think that a blog would have come into fruition much sooner. You know me as a talker, story teller, accident prone songwriter. Well, I think it is time we begin! MUWAHAHAHA!!! This last year has been incredible for me in so many ways. Last February 2009 I realized that, not only was I suffocating, but I was dying in Corporate America. I had had a big management deal in NYC at 19, worked with top notch producers and later dropped following the collapse of pop. After years as a … Read the full post Feb 28, 2010 Add comment Share March, 2010 Posts Recent Posts August 2010 (2) July 2010 (1) April 2010 (3) March 2010 (6) February 2010 (1) January 2010 (1) December 2009 (3) November 2009 (4) October 2009 (1)
