Princess Chelsea is the musical project of Chelsea Nikkel (she/her), a musician and songwriter based in Tāmaki Makaurau. Princess Chelsea’s cinematic pop has always worn its influence on its sleeve. She takes warm melodies found in songs from 60s girl groups like the Shangri-Las and brews it with elements of noise, grunge, and doom. It creates an atmosphere that is singular to her output.

Following the release of her latest single 'Everything Is Going To Be Alright', Princess Chelsea has just announced that she will be performing in Tāmaki Makaurau on April 16th at Neck Of The Woods. Along with the back catalogue classics, Princess Chelsea will be previewing material from her much anticipated upcoming album. This performance will be her fans only chance to catch Princess Chelsea before she embarks on a extensive tour throughout the UK and Europe.

It's fair to say that Princess Chelsea's live performance is a remarkably different experience to her recorded output (expect to be surprised) and is performed sans computers by a six piece band including Joshua-Worthington Church, David Harris (Sulfate), Jasmine Balmer (Being), Simeon Kavangh-Vincent (Lucky Boy^, Phoebe Rings) and Joe Kaptein (Muroki). Chelsea describes the live band as killer and those that managed to catch a rare live performance at Chabs and Milky Going Live! in 2021 seem to agree.
