Amy
Nicole Edmonds aka Eniqo was born in Monroe, Louisiana (a
small Northern city within the bounds of Quachita Parish).
From
a very young age she showed a vibrant personality along
with an entertaining nature and was recognized as gifted,
often being looked upon in awe by those she came into contact
with! As Eniqo grew older, her gifts became more and more
evident, picking up the pencil and expressing herself in
a manner beyond her years.
She
fondly remembers, grabbing the handle of a nearby broom,
mop or greasy hairbrush and singing in the middle of her
grandmother’s kitchen floor, eyes squeezed shut. Even
then her soulful, passionate vocals would catch everyone’s
attention around her. There was no question that she was
born to touch people through song!
Towards
the latter years of grade school, she moved to Dallas, TX
with her mother (where she currently still resides). In
the “Big D”, Eniqo became avidly involved in
church and community choirs working with gospel greats such
as John P. Kee, Kirk Franklin, and Greg O’quin.
At
the age of 18, she enlisted in the U.S. Navy and set sail
for Puerto Rico. Though her mind belonged to the military,
her soul still belonged to music and she was determined
to stay connected to who she really was. While stationed
on the island she became lead female vocalist for a local
band and was one-half of a duet known as Essence, performing
in plays and talent shows on base. During some of these
performances, she would often move audience members to tears,
while shedding some of her own on stage.
Eniqo
was born after leaving the U.S. Navy, she truly found her
light and it shines brighter than any words can express.
This
is not a childhood dream! For her, it is what she was put
here to do and with faith in the things that the creator
has placed in her ... she is beyond a doubt one of the most
soul-stirring artists to hit the scene, speaking of life
and love and inspiring people to find and abide by who they
really are.
Ladies
and Gentleman, Eniqo!
