Behind the Music
Nicolle Fig was born in Mexico City. Years later, she moved to Texas and then Ireland, where she developed a passion for Irish culture, its music, and its people. Nicolle specialises in bodhrán and traditional singing. Nicolle’s distinctive lyrical style of bodhrán playing has made her a highly sought-after musician and accompanist, both at home and abroad. She is also an in-demand teacher. Her success is reflected by her large following on YouTube, where she has developed a strong professional reputation as a welcoming and skilful teacher. Nicolle attended the University of Limerick, where she studied under renowned masters of music. She earned both a BA (2016) and MA (2020) with Honours in Irish Traditional Music Performance. Recently, Nicolle had the honour of representing Ireland at the World Expo in Dubai. Last year, Nicolle created an online bodhrán course in partnership with the Online Academy of Irish Music (OAIM). Nicolle continues to tour extensively with both bands Fiárock and Crisol - Flamenco Celt.
