Debbie Nicodemus

Debbie is a young businesswoman determined to make a lasting mark in the music industry. Her musical inclination is but one of the many fields she’s into, but she claims that it is indeed in music where she finds unparalleled satisfaction. According to her, music is a companion that never fails, never complains, and never asks for anything back.  She believes that every lyric with its corresponding note is in itself a story, and that the purpose of any song other than expressing itself is to affect the listening public; hence, a matter of connection from where everything else follows. The influence of Classical, Broadway and Popular Ballads are highly evident in her simple yet rarely predictable songwriting style. At the young age of 4, she learned how to play the piano and took formal voice and stage performance lessons in 2005.  She does music production, choral conducting and arrangement, and also gives piano and vocal workshops to kids from time to time. Debbie graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Major in Business Management from De La Salle University-Dasmariñas, Cavite in 2005 at the top of her class.  She was a Dean’s Lister and won several academic and non-academic contests in college. At present, she is Access 2 Myusik’s General Manager for South Luzon and Visayas and at the same time Assistant Operations Manager of a manufacturing firm. In spite of her business obligations, she manages to hold crucial positions in socio-civic and religious organizations in her hometown.
