Nicolette (full name Nicolette Suwoton) is a UK singer-songwriter of Nigerian parentage.

Her music, although falling broadly into the field of electronica, is characterised by many influences, including, jazz, classical, blues, folk, and African. This has resulted in a highly individualistic sound due in part to the diverse variety of music her father played and taught her as a child.
