ABOUT

Nicole Marie Dillman is a Panamanian singer, songwriter, actress, and playwright.  A dancer and performer since a young age, Nicole Marie is the happiest when she is on a stage in full costume with butterflies in her belly.

​

After graduating from Berklee College of Music, she moved to Los Angeles, California where she worked as a film composer, before falling back into her original musical passion: songwriting.  Since then, she has written and co-written songs with and for artists like Stephen Puth, Latin Grammy nominee Grettel Garibaldi, Joey Montana, and Yahaira Plasencia, whom Billboard named one of Peru's rising stars in 2020, as well as working with 11x Latin Grammy-winner, producer Sergio George.

The play was also nominated for Panama's theatre awards, "Premios Escena 2022" under the "Best Original Script" and "Best Original Comedy" categories.

Nicole Marie is currently living in Madrid and eating churros con chocolate while she keeps working on music and theatre.  She has recently completed a Master's in Fine Arts from Escuela SUR and keeps exploring her artistic and creative potential in as many ways as possible.
