<p>This season on my podcast, <strong><em>Baring It All with Call Me Adam</em></strong>, I am highlighting <strong><em>My Entertainment Idols</em></strong>.</p><p>Today, I am going <strong><em>back in time</em></strong> and <strong><em>Behind-The-Curtain</em></strong><em> </em>to bring you this blast from the past, my 2013 interview with <strong>Nicki French</strong>, award-winning international recording artist, known for her smash hit dance version of Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart."</p><p><strong>In this interview, Nicki is <em>Baring It All with Call Me Adam</em> about:</strong></p><ul><li>How she handles her success </li><li>What she loves about musical theatre</li><li>How she decides what songs to record</li><li>What she loves about the creative process in putting an album together</li><li>So much more</li></ul><br/><h2><u>Special Thanks:</u></h2><ul><li>Theme Song by Bobby Cronin</li><li>Podcast Logo by Liam O'Donnell</li><li>Edited by Adam Rothenberg</li><li>Underscore Music by Cutique</li></ul><br/><h2><u>Connect with Me:</u></h2><p>Website: <a href="https://www.callmeadam.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.callmeadam.com</a></p><p>Facebook: @CallMeAdamNYC</p><p>Instagram: @CallMeAdamNYC</p><h1><u>More on Nicki French:</u></h1><p>Nicki was born in Carlisle, Cumbria to Mum Eileen and Dad Joe. Music was destined to be in the family – dad played the drums when he was younger, and mum the violin. Nicki’s brother, Tim, is very musical too – a guitarist and singer who is a fabulous song-writer. However, her two sisters, Allison and Carolyn, stayed away from music – probably plenty to listen to already in the household!</p><p>The family moved down to Tenterden in Kent when Nicki was four years old. Always a keen singer, one of her early memories was sitting next to the radio, listening to the new chart rundown and singing along to all the songs, when Auntie Sally, her Godmother, came in and said to mum and dad, "She’ll be a singer when she grows up!"</p><p>The first ‘gig’ came at the age of seven, when Nicki was chosen to sing a solo - the first verse of "O Little Town of Bethlehem" at the Infants’ School Christmas Concert! From then on there was no turning back! A few years later she won the local talent contest, and within the year had joined her first band, Krisp, run by Tim and his friend Kelvin. They worked the most salubrious places – working mens’ clubs and holiday camps – wooh!</p><p>From the age of 16, Nicki studied Music and Drama at West Kent College in Tonbridge, Kent, passing her ‘A’ Levels two years later. At the annual college musical, she played the lead role of Laurey in <em>Oklahoma!</em>, earning rave reviews for her performance. She then moved up to London and started auditioning for bands and theatre shows. </p><p>Not many know that Nicki actually was part of a duo in the early 1980s – name of Whisky and Sofa! They released a song called "Dirty Den," about the Eastenders character! It was played on the Radio One Breakfast Show and that was about it! Amazing though, it was written by an extremely well-known writer, Barry Mason. He wrote "The Last Waltz" for Engelbert Humperdinck and "Delilah" for Tom Jones. Credibility sadly was NOT in existence on "Dirty Den."</p><p>Nicki started working the pubs and clubs, moving onto gay pubs and clubs a short while later – The Spread Eagle in Shoreditch was her first! However the most exciting show for Nicki was at the Player of the Season annual dinner/dance at Tottenham Hotspur FC – her team! They had just signed a new player and were introducing him to the fans – a player by the name of Paul Gascoigne, and Gazza and all the other players got up on stage with her to perform a couple of songs – a special moment. </p><p>Nicki had been working on the gay scene for some time, when she made one of her regular visits to perform in a club in...
