After years of not releasing her own music, Nicole Zell found her voice again on her empowering debut solo album, Asleep To My Own Magic. Undoubtedly Zell's most mature, enlightened work yet, the album addresses some of her most vulnerable life experiences: not believing in herself as an artist while navigating the highs and lows of the music industry, deconstructing her belief system after growing up in the church, confronting child abuse she experienced as a young girl, breaking generational cycles, healing from toxic relationships, and ultimately, finding her own magic. In 2023, it won Album of the Year at the 17th Annual Hometown Heroes Homey Awards.

To everyone who generously donated to the album fund, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this possible. This album is ours.
