Prior to picking up the turntable as an instrument, Nichole was busy making mix tapes for parties in middle and high school, and was a band geek, playing the flute for 4 years. As Sparatik, her 11 years experience as a DJ includes a variety of clubs, underground parties and special events spanning across the US as well as Tokyo. Her musical taste is eclectic and esoteric because she is in a constant state of flux and discovery. Experimenting with many styles such as drum n bass, garage, hard house, hip hop, and minimal techno, the main flavor has always been a form of classic, funky, bumpin' disco-infused house, tailored specifically to each situation.

After experiencing a number of mind-expanding underground parties in New England and Florida in the early to mid 90's, Sparatik became intrigued and determined, and in 1997 sold her VW Golf to buy some proper Technic 1200s. A fast learner, she was rockin' her first few underground parties within a year as part of a drum n bass duo with partner Spytek, on four decks. Not long after that, she established her first house residency in Orlando, called "In the House", and for the next few years continued to play a number of one-off outlaws and events. These adventures involved playing alongside artists such as Rick Preston, Miguel Migs and Skylab 2000. She's been known to spank fellow DJs at competitions, walking away with cash in pocket.
