Niki (Real Name: Dominique) is one of the newer members of Scarlett. She started playing with the band about 2 years ago, bringing along with her years of training on the tenor sax and a quiet resilience. Coming from a very musically inclined family, talent flows and pulsates in Niki’s blood (perhaps to the beat of Stephane Pompougnac???). In fact, the family itself could probably form their own band. Aside from the saxophone, Niki also plays the keyboard and the guitar.
Enjoying the simple things in life, is somewhat Niki’s life motto. She is honest and down to earth, basically as one often puts it, what you see is what you get. This makes Niki great company - a fabulous person to just spend a lazy afternoon with on a beach, at a café or at a bookstore. She also makes the best audience for jokes – her easy nature disposes her to laugh at everything.
Creative and very artistic, Niki is a trained architect; her work includes private residences (even some belonging to royalty!). She’s the one who’s always sketching on the corners of workbooks and stray pieces of paper, coming up with fun ideas on how we can spruce up our performances, giving radical suggestions on what we should wear and what the theme of our nights should be (on that note, watch out for our outfits this Friday!). In her free time, she dives, rollerblades, indulges in art and craft weekends, drinks iced milk teas known locally as “teh peng” as she watches the world go by. At the moment, she’s wistfully dreaming of an opportunity to immerse herself into the crystal turquoise waters of the Maldives…
Her secret dream job? To be a marine biologist’s helper, documenting and photographing underwater life; while illustrating children’s books and keeping a jellyfish as a pet.
