This is the 1st time in my career that I’ve been able to compose & sing music for an ENTIRE film. I read the script 3 times (before receiving a ruff cut of the film) and journaled themes & arcs that I discovered. I pondered textures and the overall sound design. This movie is a beautiful story of trauma and triumph and it evoked so many different emotions in me that I wanted to convey through the music. After many hours in the studio, meetings, & calls over the course of 4-5 months the result is something that I’m extremely proud of.
You have never seen these actors the way you will see them in this film.
Incredible performances across the board.
Thank you to the director Simon Steuri and the producer of the film Jewerl Ross for this opportunity! This is a dream come true and something I can cross off my bucket list.
Thank you to all the incredible musicians & engineers that helped make this vision come to life.
The fact that this says (in small print) Music by Nikki Grier, wow 🤯🥹❤️🙏🏽🥹 I’m so grateful. #HILTF

Dilla couldn’t resist dancing for Ola Ray in front of the Chinese theater before the movie. He was so excited to meet the “girl” from the Thriller video!!! 🕺🏽 #michaeljackson
I went to Vegas last weekend to catch the @zacbrownband Sphere show. I was completely blown away. I remember seeing the renderings of the choir scenes and trying to conceptualize what it would actually look like; so to see it in person was truly incredible. Hearing me and @needfor_steve arrangements, seeing our singers on screen, and knowing we served as creative consultants on the choir parts of this show made me extremely proud and emotional💕💕
Huge thank you to @mdmango 🙏🏽
