Nichelle started singing and dancing as a teenager. By the time she turned 16, she was touring with Duke Ellington.
“When I was 16, I did indeed wind up traveling with Duke Ellington, as a dancer, for one of his suites,” Nichelle told MAKERS. “One day, we were almost at the end of the tour, and Mr. Ellington called me into his dressing room, and he [said], ‘Sing something for me,’ and I looked around and said, ‘There’s no piano!’ and he said, ‘You don’t need a piano. We all got rhythm, don’t we?'”
