"The world is looking for someone who believes in something," says singer/songwriter/ choreographer/actress/youth advocate/mentor Nicole C. Mullen. "What do you believe in? I believe in Christ. And for that I will not apologize." It is a confession that pulses with a white-hot intensity through every song of Nicole's major label debut, NICOLE C. MULLEN.

Nicole has not just spent the past few years polishing her skills as a performer. She has also focused her attention on her role as wife/mother/minister. Married to singer/songwriter David Mullen, the couple has four children, Jasmine, Max, Ryan and Josiah who occupy center stage at the Mullen homestead. Together David and Nicole act as youth leaders in their local church, tutor inner-city kids on a weekly basis, and participate in the Kids Across America summer camp where they model the family unit to inner-city kids.

With NICOLE C. MULLEN, this multi-talented woman truly comes into her own, expressing her own musical ideas in her own inimitable style. But for Nicole Mullen, ministry is more than a hit record. It is a way of life. "I travel around the country singing to young people," she explains. "I encourage them to give their lives to Christ while they are young. Live it. Talk it. Christ is real. Without Him I would have nothing to sing about."
