Freshie. The birth name of this young phenom is Nikia Squire. She was born in Columbia, SC on December 5th, 1993. She has always loved music… Always walked around with headphones on and vibing with the track; The start of her career was in 2006 when she made her first song about this little aggravating boy up the street, with the Mario Beat. The first name she began with was “BabyGurl”… That’s all she ever was. At age 12, she managed to record her track with a $9.99 mic from walmart she had to sneak to buy, and recorded with the Sound Recorder from the start menu of her computer. Then with her grandma passing away, she was heart broken. She was turning 13, with no intentions on getting serious with writing music, she just used her skill of writing to express the way she felt. The beat only made it come to life. To her (at the time), It was like listening to the beat tell the story she’s been trying to explain the whole time. Middle school was the worst time of her life. But still, she recorded on and off for about a year, and she was soon to be introduced to something that would change her life forever. Months after her first track, she was on myspace just talking to random people… Some people hated her some people loved her but she honestly didn’t care. She felt her feelings weren’t needed to be accepted by anyone, that she just wanted to hear them for herself, and let the people that feel the same know that they aren’t the only one out there. Weeks later, a conversation with a skilled artist advised her to use a program called “Audacity”… and told her about a website named: “Soundclick”… With good words of wisdom and help getting started with something that’ll make recording easier, Nikia went back to walmart and paid $29.99 for a headset mic. She carried on with it for a while, but when she turned 14 (in late 2007), She received a message and a phone call from Slip-N-Slide Records; They saw potential in a young “artist” (which was the first time she was called that). Then those people talked to their people, and their people talked to Nikia’s parents. They wanted to pay for Nikia to fly down to Florida and show them how she would be in a studio… of course she was excited, but between her and her parents, there was a lot of complications, so Slip-N-Slide turned their interest and felt she was too young and inexperienced. Months go by and she came across a program called “Mixcraft” (which she still uses today). Her music and skills kept improving and she began taking music a little more seriously. Though the haters always hated, she never stopped and she’s been on the grind every since she’s been trying to prove everybody that say she can’t do it, wrong. Eyes were turning as she began to make her way into high school. BabyGurl changed her name To Mizz Freshman, and began writing everything down. Like a diary but with music and vocal emotion. Better quality made her write better lyrics. In 2009, she turned 15 and caught the eyes of this Online Radio Station, they were impressed with her and asked if they could play a couple songs on their show, of course she didn’t turn down the offer but everything changed after the first couple conversations. A lady in charge of the Online Radio Station name was Tasha, and she kind of turned into her Advisor; asked Mizz Freshman to come up with something a little more creative and Nikia didn’t know what to do. She was horrible with little “nicknames”… better yet a stage name. She was so confused, she asked a couple friends what they thought but no one could give her anything she liked. She played Varsity Basketball at Ridge View High School (as a freshman), and all you heard them call her was “Freshie”… “Freshie, Freshie, Freshie”… So, Freshie it became. Ms. Tasha could promote that a little better and she hooked Freshie up with a couple shows, and a couple of opportunity for some other things… Things kind of died out and still self-promoting herself on myspace ..some random guy messages her. Demanding her attention and desiring her talent. They talked on and off, and Mr. Drake loved her style, got in touch with her parents and immediately wanted to make moves with her. He wanted to introduce himself to her father and began to get things started. The Indie Label he created was called “Metrolina Ent”… Years go by and it’s now 2011. Nikia is still known by Freshie, and has became a Hip-Hop Prodigy/Lyricist/Phenom… In May of 2011, she won $150 (2nd Place Cash Prize) at a Talent Show held at the Colonial Life Arena in Downtown, Columbia… which later led into a performance on June 3rd, a graduation bash held at “The Coop”…hosted by DJ Frosty and High Society Inc. Performances were just rolling back to back to back, and she was loving the attention from her fans and supporters. Going without a manager for over 5years, in the 2nd week of June, 2011, she was ranked 165 in the SC Hip-Hop Charts (according to www.reverbnation.com) to 48, in less than a week. She began promoting on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Myspace, Formspring… any place she could get anybody’s attention, and her hard work has definitely paid off. Graduating with the class of 2012, Freshie will be on her own, and nobody… I mean No Body, can predict what she has prepared for her in the nearby future.
