Nikka Costa (born Domenica Costa,citation needed June 4, 1972 in Tokyo, Japan), is an American singer whose music combines elements of funk, soul, and blues. Her father was Don Costa (1925-1983), an arranger for several singers including Frank Sinatra.

Nikka Costa recorded her first single 45 rpm record in Italy in 1981 with the song "(Out Here) On My Own" (from the musical Fame), which rose to #1 on European charts in September of that year and stayed on the top spots for several weeks.

In 1996 Nikka released the album Butterfly Rocket in Australia, and reached the Top 20. The record led to a nomination for ARIA Music Awards Breakthrough Artist in 1996 and Best Female Artist in 1997.citation needed

Her song "Like A Feather" was featured in a Tommy Hilfiger television advertising campaign. That exposure coupled with the track's music video helped launch her U.S. music career. The followup album Everybody Got Their Something managed to garner another radio hit with the title track. In 2005 Nikka released her record can'tneverdidnothin'. She toured with Lenny Kravitz who also performed on the record. The next year, she and her husband Justin recorded and performed the theme to the short-lived CBS sitcom "Courting Alex", which starred Jenna Elfman.

Costa is currently signed with Stax Records.1 Her latest studio album, Pebble to a Pearl, was released on October 14th.2
