Rising Stars: Nikki Stanzione

Posted on September 5, 2014

Nikki Stanzione is a Hollywood force to be reckoned with, and we were super honored to host her at the #HipNJ studios!

This West Orange native is a true “five tool player”- she sings, acts, hosts and much more! She chatted with Lisa Marie Latino about her vast career that spans both US coasts.

After graduating Rutgers University, Nikki made the bold move to Los Angeles to pursue her dreams. Soon after settling in LA, she was regularly featured on the soap opera “All My Children”, and recurred as “Cynthia” on “Young and the Restless”.

After her soap opera stints ended, Nikki took her talents to Miami. During her time in South Florida, she appeared regularly in the musical comedy “Laffing Matterz”. She also hosted a national daily live interactive game show, “My Games Fever,” which was seen nationally on MyNetwork TV.

These experiences, among many other endeavors, launched her into her biggest role to date- as host of “New Mexico Style,” on the Southwest FOX affiliate, 2 KASA FOX. It was there she interviewed the biggest and brightest personalities in the country, and asserted herself as one of the industry’s best presenters.

Currently, Nikki is staring in Off-Broadway, is penning a novel and recording music.

For any up-and-coming entertainer, this is a must-see segment; hearing Nikki’s story will motivate you to keep on your path to stardom!
