Mini bio
How it started.
Before she was Nicole, Denisse Laval won TVN’s children’s singing competition Festiniños in 1987. At twelve, she recorded Tal vez me estoy enamorando, released in 1989, and adopted her stage name on her producers’ advice.
Finding her sound.
Esperando nada brought songs such as “Dame luz,” “Sin gamulán” and “Sólo el mar” into her catalogue in 1994. For 1997’s Sueños en tránsito, she worked with Gustavo Cerati, whose production helped her explore a different sound.
Making her own records.
APT arrived in 2006 as her first independent album, recorded in her Miami apartment. Panal followed in 2013 and Claroscuro in 2022. She continues to revisit those songs onstage while writing new music.
Songs that keep growing.
Her friendship with Ana Torroja grew during their time as coaches on The Voice Chile in 2016. They later recorded “Desierto Florido” together in Mexico City, giving a song from Claroscuro a new life as a duet in 2025.
