What is Nikki Exotica's job? Creating sheer excellence in the realm of music!

Following in the glamorous footsteps of her idols — Pamela Anderson, Madonna, and, of course, Barbie — Nikki has crafted her own space in the limelight! Nikki is not just a reality TV star; she's also a performer, singer-songwriter, and makeup artist. According to Nikki, her "aesthetic is makeup," and she's got the cosmetology license to prove it.

Nikki uses her YouTube channel to promote her music videos, and her success is only rising. Her most popular video has over 409,000 views, and views for her latest music video, a cover of "Pandam Pandam," are only rising.

What was Nikki like as a child?

From a young age, Nikki's fascination with Barbie and Madonna set the stage for her future aspirations. Her desire to become famous was fueled by the glamorous images she saw on television. Nikki told 90 Day Fiancé producers that she would often raid her mom's closet and play with her cousin's dolls, imagining a life of fame.

Nikki is very open about the fact that she was not born a girl. At 19, she underwent gender reassignment surgery so that her outer appearance matched her inner feelings. She explained that she spent a lot of money on cosmetic procedures — including three nose jobs, breast augmentation, voice therapy, and the removal of her Adam's apple. The cost of becoming a real-life Barbie doll was steep, but it was all worth it for Nikki.

Nikki's odyssey from childhood dreams to becoming "the million-dollar Barbie'' and a recording artist is a story of resilience and self-expression. She transcends the boundaries of conventional expectations and inspires people to embrace their truth. And we can't wait to see what new music she produces and how her singing career develops!
