Nicole "Nikki" Yanofsky (born February 8, 1994) is a Canadian jazz-pop singer-songwriter from Montreal, Quebec.
She performed Canada’s National Anthem at the Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, British Columbia. She also performed as part of the Closing Ceremonies and the 2010 Winter Paralympic Games Opening Ceremony.
Nikki has performed internationally at jazz festivals and major concert venues both solo and alongside such well-known artists as Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones, Wyclef Jean, Celine Dion, Marvin Hamlisch and The Count Basie Orchestra.
Nikki has had three releases; Ella...Of Thee I Swing (Live DVD/CD - 2008), Nikki (CD - 2010) and Live in Montreal (Live DVD - 2010). Her second studio album, produced by Martin Terefe, is currently in post-production.
Nikki recorded the Ella Fitzgerald classic "Airmail Special" for Verve Records and it was released in June 2007 on the album We All Love Ella: Celebrating the First Lady of Song. Produced by Tommy LiPuma, this track made Yanofsky the youngest singer ever to record for Verve. Nikki then recorded "Gotta Go My Own Way" in English and French for Walt Disney’s smash hit High School Musical 2. The track was included as bonus material on the worldwide release of the Blu-ray, DVD and Soundtrack CD. Following that, she collaborated with Grammy Award-winning musicians Herbie Hancock and Will.i.am (from The Black Eyed Peas) to record a crossover version of the swing era hit "Stompin' at the Savoy". It was released on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's audio book, On the Shoulders of Giants.

Nikki Yanofsky Sings "You've Changed"
Days can be sunny
With never a sigh
Don't need what money
can buy
Birds in the tree sing
Their day full of song
Why shouldn't we sing
along?
I chipper all the day
happy with my lot
How did I get that way?
Well look at what I've
I got rhythm, I got
music
I got my man
Who could ask for
anything more?
I got daisys, in green
pastures
I got my man
Who could ask for
anything more?
Old man trouble
I dont mind him
You wont find him round
my door
I got starlight
I got sweet dreams
I got my man
Who could ask for
anything more
Old man trouble
I dont mind him
You wont find him,
round my door
I got startlight
I got sweet dreams
I got my man
Who could ask for
anything more ?
I got rhythm, I got
music
I got daisys, in green
pastures
I got startlight
I got sweet dreams
I got my man
Who could ask for
