I want that love for music to be my signature in everything I’m working on.” The St. Louis native went from playing bass and tuba throughout high school to achieving a Bachelor of Arts in Audio Engineering from Webster University. She kicked off her career as an intern at Atlantic Records before eventually becoming an A&R Admin Assistant in 2011. She became A&R Admin Manager for Def Jam Recordings in 2015 and worked on chart-topping multi-platinum releases for the likes of YG\, Jhene Aiko and Lil Durk\, acting as a label liaison for producers\, studios\, engineers\, and musicians. 2018 saw her return to Atlantic in the role of Head of A&R Operations and Production for APG\, where she worked on key records for talent such as Kehlani\, Lil Skies\, Youngboy and many others. \nIn addition to leadership roles within The Recording Academy and Women In Music\, Nikisha is also a founding member of CHIEF\, a network of women focused on supporting each other in executive capacities. She also organizes OurTable Dinners\, which spotlights and celebrates music business thought leaders. Ultimately\, Bailey proves integral to fostering a sense of community in the business at large. “Community is everything\,” she affirms. “You are only as strong as the team with you. I always want to connect people and draw on the power in numbers”.
