Nicki Lynn Aycox was born in Hennessey, Oklahoma on May 26, 1975. She had Native American ancestry and gained an interest in music and acting at a young age. She first got into playing piano, but then started acting on stage and performing in beauty pageants after financial struggles in her family meant they had to sell their piano.

Aycox briefly studied at the University of Oklahoma and Long Beach State but never graduated as her acting career took off before she finished her theater major. Her earliest film roles were in sitcoms like Weird Science and Third Rock From The Sun, but she later became well known in the crime procedural, action and drama genres more than comedy.

She had also recently returned to music after retiring from acting. In 2015, Aycox released the EP Red Velvet Room, which featured five original songs and a gorgeous singing voice from her. Here’s the title track from her album.
