Photos by Orest Dorosh – Nikki Lane is an American country music singer-songwriter and artist. She has released four albums: Walk of Shame, All or Nothin’, Highway Queen, and Denim & Diamonds. Lane was born in Greenville, South Carolina, and dropped out of high school there. She then worked as a fashion designer for a time, before moving to Los Angeles in 2006 and later to New York City. After doing so, she broke up with a country musician, who left her to record an album in Alabama; this experience inspired her to begin writing country music songs. Lane, who now lives in Nashville, also owns and operates a clothing store called “High Class Hillbilly”.
