Performer
Nijel’s first musical audition ended with him turning around and seeing two people dancing to his song. From then on, he knew he was born to perform. While singing and dancing have been at the forefront for quite some time, he also found a love for acting through an Advanced Scene Study class taken his junior year.
Nijel’s love of musical theatre has allowed him to perform in great spaces around the world such as the Historic Bass Hall in Fort Worth, TX as well as with Broadway professionals at Theatre Aspen and The Hotel Jerome.
Musician
Nijel has been an active musician since being given a trombone in the sixth grade. After shuffling through a few options, he landed on trombone as his primary, but also plays euphonium and tuba. Rising to First Chair for trombone in the region, then ranking amongst the Top Three in the State of Tennessee, Nijel has continued to allow himself to learn and grow with each musical experience. Having traveled with TCU’s Trombone Choir to Washington DC, as well as continuing to perform in various ensembles and accompanying roles, Nijel has taken his musician skills professionally. Most recently, he was seen in the orchestra for Lyric Stage in Dallas.
