New Song from Nikki Yanofsky for 2010 Vancouver Olympics

With a powerful, soulful voice to rival singers twice her age, 16-year-old singing sensation Nikki Yanofsky is the voice of the 2010 Winter Olympics in her home country of Canada with her latest recording, "I Believe." Nikki sings the English-language version of the song, which is the official theme of Canada's Olympic Broadcast Media Consortium. "I Believe" is the young star's first #1 single, recently breaking into the top 10 on Canadian radio and passing the platinum sales mark on iTunes Canada, where the song has been a best-seller since its release.

In a recent interview with CTV, Nikki said of the track: "The song has such a universal message. It doesn't even need to be applied to the Olympics. It's really just about believing in yourself and your talent, and that when you're down, there's people around you that really do support you." Nikki also sang the Canadian national anthem during the live broadcast of the Olympic opening ceremonies in Vancouver, which had a worldwide audience of over 3 billion people - one of the largest television audiences in history.

Nikki's version of "
I Believe" will be included on her upcoming debut album, Nikki, scheduled for release later this Spring. The album was produced by legendary producer Phil Ramone and Grammy Award winner Jesse Harris (Norah Jones), and will be a combination of original songs and classic covers - an album Nikki describes as "sophisticated pop."
