Princess Chelsea
Birth name	Chelsea Nikkel

Genres	Indie pop, synthpop, baroque pop
Years active	2009–present
Labels	Lil' Chief Records
Website	princesschelsea.lilchiefrecords.com

Her baroque musical style has been attributed to her classical training, and the New Zealand Herald praised her "angelic vocals and acerbic wit".[1] Her best known song, "The Cigarette Duet" received significant press exposure after its video[2] went viral on YouTube in early 2012, recently reaching over 80 million views. This led to her being featured on The Guardian's "New Band of the Day".[3]

Chelsea's song "World Turns Grey" was remixed in a collaboration with the German electronic music producer, Robin Schulz. The remix is on the album Sugar released by Schulz in September 2015.

In August 2016, she made a cover of a song called "Cold Glass Tube" by the Reduction Agents, which is available on the album Waiting for Your Love: A Tribute to the Reduction Agents. The album was released on iTunes on 19 August.
