Nici Ward is a singer/songwriter with a career spanning two decades. Having grown up in the industry, it was a natural path for Nici to start writing her own music -- performing and recording around Melbourne, Sydney, Los Angeles, and her home of Perth. She has collaborated with artists as varied as Luke Steele, Six Ft Hick, Rinehearts and Graveyard Train – where she sang alongside Killing Heidi's Ella Hooper. Her co-written song with Nuno Bettencort (Extreme) features on the soundtrack to Disney movie Smart People, and one of her songs was recently featured in the Perth short film A Mother's Gift. In 2019 Nici formed Girl+Boy with Perth music veteran Jesse French (Kuillotines, No Wonder, The Volcanics) with whom she has released a full-length album and several singles. During this time she was also performing solo under the name Lonesome Dove, which she expanded to a full band lineup in 2021 Nici has developed a full suite of music industry skills including vocal coaching, publicity, online marketing and film clip production – creating all of the clips for Girl+Boy and having a heavy hand in concept and direction for Lonesome Dove.
