After gaining fame as a member of fan-favorite family group Statik Express on Fox’s X Factor, 15-year old Mali Nicole is ready to stand-alone and showcase her God given talent to the world.

Check out the newcomer as she talks her idols, her debut EP, fashion style and more.

Do you come from a musical family or is music something that just found you?

Music definitely runs in my family. My mom, grandma, aunties and uncles all sing. I believe that my mom is the reason my voice is as strong as it is. She has been coaching me ever since I can remember.

When did you know you wanted to be serious about music and why?

I’ve been singing all my life, and I decided to take my career seriously when I was 10. My siblings and I created a group called “Statik Express,” which made it to the “Top 30″ finalists on X Factor! That’s when I realized singing was something I really wanted to do. I love being on stage and performing for people. It’s such a fun, great experience!

What artist(s) (past or present) inspire you?

I have many inspirations, some of them being my parents. They inspire me to stay grounded and always give my all to what I love doing. They’re basically my life coaches. I would also say that I’m truly inspired by Beyonce and Michael Jackson because I’m a big fan of their hard work and stage presence. I can see that they’re passionate about what they love to do, and that inspires me to stay working hard and give my all.
