Autumn Nicholas<\/a>, a soul-pop singer-songwriter from Raleigh, NC, is a talented young musician that makes her listeners only want more. Growing up with a father who played drums and a brother who played guitar, music was always prevalent in her family; however, Nicholas never thought she would make a career out of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To say Nicholas is passionate about her music is an understatement. Not only is she passionate about her music, but she is passionate about making a difference in our society. She strives to make her music unique and relevant, singing about love and loss as well as hope and pain\u2014which has been very pertinent in today\u2019s civilization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently inspired by the #BlackLivesMatter<\/a> and LBGTQ marches, her new single “Side by Side” shows both the positive and negative sides of these movements in hopes to try and get people to stand up and take action. She says the single \u201cis focused on how we are all uniquely beautiful, beyond our gender, circumstance, and skin, no one more than the other.\u201d Autumn Nicholas is proud to be and sing about her sexuality. The gay, biracial artist stands out among other young artists because she sings about her own life in a way that can relate to anyone. She also sings to the masses where she offers inspiring messages through her lyrics and gives her listeners something to think about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can’t understand why we all just keep taking sides<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why can’t we sympathize?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we really care about each other’s lives<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then let’s go and make it right<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the song\u2019s lyrics and production capture her goal of coming together as people to stand up for what is right. \u201cI want it to focus less on me and more on the words and the art and the community,\u201d said Nicholas. She even said the official music video of \u2018Side by Side\u2019 was rushed because they had to make it before the artwork was taken down, and that there will be a second version of the song that shows even more street art as well as other artists of different races from around the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
