Originally from Birmingham, Alabama, Jasika Nicole attended a private college in North Carolina, majoring in theatre, voice, and dance, before moving to NYC to pursue her career in acting. Jasika Nicole starred opposite Bronson Pinchot in the title role of the world premiere of the musical "Chasing Nicolette," and has appeared in several stage productions in New York City, most notably the off-Broadway 60's musical" Café A Go Go" and the world premiere of "Believe In Me…A Bigfoot Musical" at the 2004 NYC Fringe Festival.
Jasika Nicole made her feature film debut in the ballroom dancing movie "Take the Lead" with Antonio Banderas, and soon after she landed roles in "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" and the indie film comedy "Get Faamous."
