Born in
Honolulu, Hawaii and raised in
Louisville, Kentucky, Scherzinger began acting at the age of 14 and studied musical theatre at
Wright State University. In pursuit of a musical career, Scherzinger dropped out of college and toured with the American rock band
Days of the New before finding mild success with
Eden's Crush, a
girl group created through
The WB's Popstars. After taking on minor acting roles, Scherzinger became the lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls. Despite releasing two successful albums with the group, the prominence of her role was a point of contention as it contributed to the group's dissolution in 2010. Scherzinger carved out a solo career outside the group; her debut album, Her Name is Nicole was shelved due to insufficient commercial response from its promotional singles. However, her debut album was released as Killer Love (2011)—which was supported by the singles "
Right There" (featuring
50 Cent), "
Poison" and "
Don't Hold Your Breath"—followed by its sequel, Big Fat Lie (2014). Both albums failed to chart domestically, although they found moderate success on international charts.[9]
Nicole Prascovia Elikolani Valiente was born on June 29, 1978,[12] in
Honolulu,
Hawaii, to Alfonso Valiente of
Filipino descent and mother who is of Native Hawaiian and Ukrainian descent.[13][10] Alfonso left the family when Nicole was two years old.[10] Rosemary then married German-American Gary Scherzinger, who adopted Nicole, and whose surname she eventually took. She has a younger sister, Keala.[14] When Nicole was six, they moved to
Louisville, Kentucky,[14] where her mother was a clerk, and her step-father was a welder. Scherzinger describes her upbringing as difficult as she grew up "without much money" and supported her parents by being a waitress, taking local modelling jobs, and being part of an entertainment troupe of the local amusement park,
Kentucky Kingdom.[15][14] With her grandfather a priest,[16] Scherzinger was raised as
Roman Catholic and considered herself conservative with "really strong religious beliefs" and would go to church twice a week in order to make her mother proud.[17]
At the age of 14, she joined
Actors Theatre of Louisville, where she was cast in her first professional play, La Bête.[18] She graduated in 1996 from the
Youth Performing Arts School (YPAS) at
duPont Manual High School, where she participated in many plays, including Alice in Wonderland, in which she portrayed Alice. Scherzinger was surprised she got the part as she was up "against a girl with blue eyes and blonde hair".[14] In 2007, she was inducted to DuPont Manual Alumni's Hall of Fame as one of the youngest inductees.[19] Since 2013, Scherzinger has endowed YPAS with a yearly $2,000, namesake scholarship.[20] After earning a scholarship, she attended
Wright State University and majored in theatre arts with a dance minor.[19]
During this period, Scherzinger garnered the lead roles in regional productions of the musicals Chicago, Guys and Dolls, and Show Boat.[18] In her final year of college, Scherzinger was hired by
Days of the New band leader
Travis Meeks to contribute vocals on their
self-titled second studio album. Meeks sought out a singer who could "deliver some more world/operatic textures and sounds."[21] The album's supporting tour followed, which led Scherzinger to drop out of college.[22] Towards the tour's conclusion, Meeks stated that the two grew apart creatively, claiming she "didn't seem to understand music very well" but noted she is an "amazing entertainer".[21] In 2018, Scherzinger received the 2017 Alumna of the Year Award from the Wright State Alumni Association.[23]
Career
2001–2002: Eden's Crush
In 2001, Scherzinger's mother saw a commercial for
the WB's show Popstars USA,[14] a reality series with the aim to chronicle a music group's formation until the recording of their debut album.[24]Warner Bros. imprint
London-Sire Records signed the group to a
recording contract before the band was named and had finalized its membership, due to the hours of network television exposure the group would receive.[25] Initially reluctant to audition, Scherzinger later opted otherwise as she saw it as an opportunity to travel to Los Angeles.[14] For her audition she sang
Whitney Houston's version of Dolly Parton's song "
I Will Always Love You" and alongside Ana Maria Lombo, Maile Misajon, Ivette Sosa, and
Rosanna Tavarez, established the girl group
Eden's Crush.[26] Their debut single, "
Get Over Yourself", was released in March 2001 and debuted at number eight on the
Billboard Hot 100 and became the first female act to debut at number one on the
Hot 100 Singles Sales chart.[27] Their debut studio album, Popstars (2001), debuted at number six on the
Billboard 200 chart.[28] They went on to tour with
'N Sync and
Jessica Simpson, but, by the end of the year, their label went bankrupt and the group disbanded.[29] During this time,
will.i.am, front man of
The Black Eyed Peas, approached Scherzinger to become a member of the group, but her then-boyfriend,
Nick Hexum declined.[30] Following the band's dissolution, Scherzinger took a detour into acting and guest-starred in television shows such as My Wife and Kids (2002) and had a cameo in the independent comedy, Chasing Papi (2003).[31]
In August 2003, opting for a solo recording contract, Scherzinger traveled to
Arista Records office in New York with a demo CD of her own written material under her
Hawaiian family name Nicole Kea. Her performance was interrupted by a
citywide blackout, and she was forced to leave. Meanwhile,
Robin Antin, the creator of the
burlesque troupe the Pussycat Dolls, struck a joint venture with
Interscope Records and, along with record producers
Jimmy Iovine and
Ron Fair, launched an open audition for a separate recording group.[32] After will.i.am recommended Scherzinger to Iovine,[30] and in hopes to obtain a solo deal, she successfully auditioned in December 2003 along with
Melody Thornton joining
Carmit Bachar,
Ashley Roberts,
Jessica Sutta and
Kimberly Wyatt.[31][33] As the lead singer, Scherzinger assumed the majority of the vocals and is the only member of the group to have songwriting credits on their debut album PCD, which was released in September 2005.[33] The album was preceded by "
Don't Cha", which became their international breakthrough, peaking at number two on the Billboard Hot 100.[34] The album spawned other number-one hits, "
Stickwitu" and "
Buttons", the former of which was nominated for
Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals at the
49th Annual Grammy Awards.[35]
In February 2006, Scherzinger signed a
global publishing agreement with
Universal Music Publishing Group, which would cover her future songwriting.[36] Her work as lead singer furthered Scherzinger's popularity as she continued to work on her own music. Scherzinger's first solo recording was a feature on
Avant's "
Lie About Us" that was released in July 2006 and later collaborated with
Diddy on "
Come to Me", which became Scherzinger's first solo top-ten hit on the US Billboard Hot 100.[37] In March 2007, Scherzinger announced that her debut studio album would be titled Her Name is Nicole and was initially scheduled for a release in late summer.[33][38] Four singles were released from the project—"
Whatever U Like" featuring
T.I., "
Baby Love" featuring
will.i.am, "Supervillain", and "Puakenikeni"—however, all failed to make any significant impact on the Billboard charts,[33] although "Baby Love" was a moderate success in international territories. After a number of push backs,[31] Scherzinger decided not to release any further singles from the album and at her request, Her Name Is Nicole was eventually shelved and shifted back her focus on the Doll's second album.[39][40]
The Pussycat Dolls' second and final album, Doll Domination, was released in the United States on September 23, 2008, and peaked at number four on the Billboard 200.[41] The album included the singles "
When I Grow Up" and "
I Hate This Part", which peaked at number nine and eleven on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively.[42] Both songs were originally recorded for Scherzinger's solo effort.[43] The following year, the group embarked on the worldwide
Doll Domination Tour, which began on January 18, 2009.[44] While on tour, Scherzinger was asked to re-write the pop version of "
Jai Ho" from the film Slumdog Millionaire (2008).[45] The song was entitled "
Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)" crediting
A. R. Rahman and the Pussycat Dolls while Scherzinger was credited as a featured artist causing dissatisfaction within the group.[46] The song reached number one in 17 countries; in the US, it peaked at number fifteen on the Billboard Hot 100, after charging eighty-five places
consequently making the largest weekly leap from number 100.[47] On April 5, 2009, Scherzinger performed "
America the Beautiful" at
Wrestlemania XXV, at the
Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas.[48] After the tour concluded in August 2009, the group announced a hiatus to further pursue solo careers.[49] In December 2009, Scherzinger was announced as the third judge joining
Ben Folds and
Boyz II Men band member
Shawn Stockman on the
first season of The Sing-Off.[50] She returned for the
second season before being replaced by
Sara Bareilles.[51]
2010–2012: The X Factor and Killer Love
In May 2010, Scherzinger and her dance partner
Derek Hough won the
tenth season of Dancing with the Stars.[52] In July 2010, Scherzinger served as a guest judge on The X Factor UK, where she formed
One Direction,[53] by picking up the boys and insisting with other judges that the boys together would have been a smash.[54][55] Her stint was "well-received by viewers and producers".[56] The following month, she portrayed Maureen in
Neil Patrick Harris'
Hollywood Bowl production of the
rock musicalRent.[57] Her performance in the musical received praise from critics,[58]Charles McNulty of the Los Angeles Times wrote, "Scherzinger's powerhouse voice was meant for venues like the Bowl."[59] In October 2010, Scherzinger released "
Poison" as the
lead single from the album, which peaked at number three on the
UK Singles Chart,[60] and announced her departure from the Pussycat Dolls to focus on her solo career.[61]
Her debut album, Killer Love, was released on March 21, 2011, in the United Kingdom.[62] On the
UK Albums Chart the album debuted and peaked at number eight and by November it sold over 140,000 copies.[63] The album's second single, "
Don't Hold Your Breath" became Scherzinger's first number-one single as a solo artist in the UK Singles Chart and its third single "
Right There" reached number three.[60] "Right There" was remixed to feature
50 Cent and peaked at number thirty-nine, remaining her highest-charting single on the Billboard Hot 100 as a lead artist.[64] It was released as the lead single for the US version of Killer Love,[65] however after a number of delays, the release was never materialized.[63]
Initially hired to co-host with
Steve Jones the
first season of the
USA show of The X Factor,[66] Scherzinger's eventual replacement of former judge of The X Factor UK,
Cheryl Cole amidst the audition stages as a judge caused controversy.[67] She later received backlash and death threats after sending the result to deadlock in the quarter-final, which resulted in
Rachel Crow's elimination.[68] She mentored the Over 30s; her final act,
Josh Krajcik, was named the runner-up of the season.[69] In December 2011, as part of the 25th anniversary of The Phantom of the Opera, Scherzinger performed the song of
the same name at
the Royal Variety Performance.[70] Meanwhile, Killer Love was re-released with four additional songs, including the fifth and final single, "
Try with Me".[71] Scherzinger left The X Factor USA after the conclusion of the first season. She was replaced by
Demi Lovato for the
second season of The X Factor USA.
In February 2012, she embarked on her first headlining tour in the United Kingdom,[72] and later briefly appeared in
Barry Sonnenfeld's Men in Black 3.[73] On June 15, 2012, she was confirmed as the fourth judge for the
ninth series of The X Factor UK to replace
Kelly Rowland for a reported salary of $1.17 million.[74] Scherzinger mentored the Boys category and selected
James Arthur,
Rylan Clark-Neal, and
Jahmene Douglas to compete in the live shows. Scherzinger made history and a hugely successful judge on the UK show by becoming the only judge to have all three of her acts in the quarter-final and the second judge to have her remaining two remaining acts as the final two, with Arthur eventually winning the series.[75] Scherzinger sang "
Don't Cry for Me Argentina" at the Andrew Lloyd Webber: 40 Musical Years tribute show.[76]
2013–2018: Big Fat Lie and television ventures
In March 2013, Scherzinger released "
Boomerang", which debuted and peaked at number six on the UK Singles Chart;[77] after its lackluster success, the associated album was scrapped.[78] Scherzinger returned as judge on The X Factor for its
tenth series for a reported salary of $2.3 million.[79] In February 2014, Scherzinger announced that she signed a record deal with
Sony Music Entertainment and
RCA Records for a reported $4.5 million.[80][81] Scherzinger's second studio album, Big Fat Lie was released in October 2014. It experienced lackluster sales on the UK Albums Chart, which led to her eventual departure from the label the following year.[82] The album was preceded by the singles "
Your Love", "
Run" and "
On the Rocks".[83] "Your Love" peaked at number six on the UK Singles Chart and was a moderate success on other international markets.[84] In December, Scherzinger made her
West End debut starring as
Grizabella in the 2014 revival of the musical Cats at the
London Palladium where she played the role for a 12-week run until February 8, 2015;[85] her performance received rave reviews from critics particularly praising her rendition of the
song standard "
Memory" and garnered a
Laurence Olivier Award nomination for
Best Actress in a Supporting Role in a Musical.[86] She was set to reprise Grizabella in the
Broadway revival of Cats but a week before rehearsals she quit after producers refused to give her top billing.[87]
2019–2022: The Masked Singer, Pussycat Dolls reunion and solo comeback
Scherzinger began 2019 with appearing as a panelist on The Masked Singer; a
reality singing competition where celebrities sing covers of famous songs while wearing costumes that conceal their identities. The program's premiere was the highest-
rated unscripted television series debut in the United States since The X Factor USA in 2011, and has since been a ratings success for the network.[100] In May 2019, Scherzinger was announced as a judge on the
ninth season of Australia's Got Talent.[101] Between October and December 2019, she appeared as judge on The X Factor spin-off's Celebrity and The Band.[102][103] On the finale of The X Factor: Celebrity, the Pussycat Dolls, consisting of Sutta, Bachar, Roberts, Scherzinger, and Wyatt, reunited with a live medley performance of their previous singles and their new song, "
React".[104] British media regulator
Ofcom received over 400 complaints from viewers who criticized the band's perceived provocative nature of their performance.[105]
The
third season of The Masked Singer premiered in February 2020 as the
Super Bowl LIVlead-out program and was viewed by over 27.3million people—the series' most watched episode.[106] The Pussycat Dolls' "React" was released in the same month, to moderate success.[107] Scherzinger voiced Miranda Trese on
Netflix original anime series, Trese, which premiered on June 10, 2021.[108] Scherzinger played the role of Grace Farrell on NBC's
musicaltelevision specialAnnie Live! that aired on December 2, 2021.[109]
The Pussycat Dolls reunion
tour was put on hold after Scherzinger was sued by the group's founder Robin Antin.[110] It was officially cancelled in January 2022, with reasons cited as logistical difficulties due to the
COVID-19 pandemic and business issues between Scherzinger and Antin.[111][112] Shortly after in April that same year, Scherzinger held a three-night musical showcase at The Sun Rose, Hollywood. During the event, Scherzinger sang a number of musical theatre productions, as well as announcing a return to solo music. Speaking about the event, Scherzinger said "It was important people get to see me in this intimate setting, to truly hear me, and experience my love and connection of music through singing. … to create a space for me where I can live out my full potential as an artist, without having to be defined by any style or genre of music." She also confirmed the release of a new EP of music, Warrior and debuted one of its songs "Never Going Back". She also confirmed that she remains unsigned at the time of writing.[113] On June 17, 2022, and according to Belfast news outlet The Newsletter, it was revealed Scherzinger is set to debut an interior design range including bedding under the name 'Nalu'. The venture is licensed through Bedeck, a manufacturer who have produced similar ranges with
Ted Baker and
DKNY. Northern Irish design agency Anthology were also involved in the project.[114] The same day, it was also reported that Scherzinger would be releasing a new single "The Drop", a collaboration with French DJ
David Guetta in the week commencing June 20, 2022.[115] Said single is a collaboration between Scherzinger, Guetta and
Dimitri Vegas, while also featuring Azteck. It was released on June 24, 2022.[116] On 7 May 2023, Scherzinger performed at the
Coronation Concert, held in celebration of the
coronation of King
Charles III and
Queen Camilla the day before.[117] Scherzinger performed the song "
Reflection", from
Disney's 1998 animated film Mulan, accompanied by Chinese pianist
Lang Lang.[118]
Scherzinger has named
Whitney Houston as her idol and biggest influence. She said that she wanted to be "Whitney Houston growing up" and praised the singer's vocal abilities and stage presence.[121][122] She noted, "no one can sing [her songs] like her. She had such a powerful energy about her that when she sang it was like she had wings — she filled the universe with her voice. Hers was a divine gift and it happened to come in the most beautiful package."[122] She revealed, Houston's "
The Greatest Love of All" was the song that made her want to do music.[123] As she grew older she also listened to artists such as
Ella Fitzgerald,
Billie Holiday,
Roberta Flack,
Sade,
Alanis Morissette, and
Tina Turner.[121] She has also stated that
Andrew Lloyd Webber's music has been influential to her as an artist as she grew up listening to musicals such as Jesus Christ Superstar, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Evita.[124] Following the death of
Prince in late of April 2016, Scherzinger posted a lengthy tribute citing him as a "mentor" and "inspiration" to her career.[125] While on stage Scherzinger borrows personas of
Tina Turner and
Mick Jagger; "the way he prances around stage and the poise he has on stage. But I love [Turner's] attitude and sass. I steal from her all the time, especially being the lead singer of this group, the Pussycat Dolls, to be fearless and just have that attitude and that soul behind you."[121]
She cited
Janet Jackson's sixth studio album, The Velvet Rope (1997), as her main inspiration for her second album, Big Fat Lie (2014), while the music video for "Your Love" was inspired by Jackson's "
Love Will Never Do (Without You)" (1989) clip.[126] During the recording process, she stated that
Sam Smith's 2014 album In the Lonely Hour inspired her to get "emotionally raw."[127] Scherzinger has also incorporated her Hawaiian heritage into her music; her single "Puakenikeni" (2007) was named after the
flower that is indigenous to that state.[128] The music video of the song "Right There" featured Hawaiian and Tahitian fashion and dance moves.[129] Stylistically, Scherzinger draws inspiration from
Jennifer Lopez,
Sienna Miller, and
Gwen Stefani.[130] During her twenties, Scherzinger tried to emulate Lopez by dying her hair blonde.[131]
Musical style and voice
Scherzinger possesses a
soprano range.[132][133] Scherzinger's vocal abilities have received contrasting opinions; Adam White of The Daily Telegraph considers her as "an incredible vocalist" but notes that her voice is not distinct.[134] Her vocal performance on Killer Love (2011) received similar reviews from music critics. Michael Cragg of The Observer wrote, "Scherzinger's not inconsiderable voice is used as a blank canvas" with producers projecting suggestions from other artists.[135]Stephen Thomas Erlewine from
Allmusic wrote that, she "sings with the finesse of a demo singer, serving the needs of the song without betraying a hint of personality."[136] Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian described her vocal performance as "powerful and true," though notes it's "more evident live than on record."[137] Andrew Lloyd Webber praised Scherzinger's recording of "Memory" calling it the "best recording of anything of [his] music ever done."[138]
Scherzinger has called herself a perfectionist when it comes to her releasing music claiming she had decided to shelve five albums, most notably, Her Name Is Nicole.[139] While recording for the album Scherzinger incorporated
pop,
R&B,
hip hop, and
rock genres.[140] Her intent was to differentiate herself from her role as the lead vocalist of the Pussycat Dolls and establish herself as a solo artist.[141] Her debut album, Killer Love skewed towards
Europop and explored new genres such as,
dance and
electronic.[136][142] The album consists two-thirds of up-tempo songs and one-third ballads.[135] In Big Fat Lie Scherzinger returned to "various pop and dance tropes familiar from the past decade or so of American pop."[143] The themes of the album revolve around fame, love, sex, relationship issues,[144] and addresses her struggles with bulimia.[145]
Scherzinger selects to record songs that would lend themselves to being performed live.[146] Her stage presence has been praised. While reviewing Scherzinger's tour Sullivan of The Guardian wrote that she is "able to out-dance her four dancers."[137]Rolling Stone magazine readers voted Scherzinger as their ninth Favorite Dancing Musician.[147] Described as being "provocative" when performing on stage, Scherzinger states that her stage persona "comes from a strong place, not a weak place, and there's a big difference. There's a big difference when you see someone who still has class and is empowering."[10]
Public image
Scherzinger is best known as the lead singer of The Pussycat Dolls and is credited with leading the group into becoming one of the world's
best-selling girl groups of all time, selling over 55 million records worldwide.[148] Her prominent role was met with criticism from critics and her fellow members.[149][150] Despite being the only member who achieved mainstream recognition, Scherzinger has struggled to develop a successful solo career, specifically in her native country.[143] According to Billboard, the cancellation of Her Name Is Nicole in 2007 hampered Scherzinger's solo career,[151] while both of her albums—Killer Love (2011) and Big Fat Lie (2014)—were released in territories except the United States. Music critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine characterized Scherzinger as "the least distinctive diva of the new millennium."[143]
Writing for The Daily Telegraph, Adam White has described Scherzinger's career as "a perfect case study in all the right ingredients not automatically producing a great result;" [...] she's never taken off as a pop star in her own right, instead achieving greater visibility and success as a reality TV judge and spokesperson for products."[134] Nick Duerden of The Independent described Scherzinger as the "ultimate modern celebrity" thanks to her work with the Pussycat Dolls, her television ventures and her publicized personal life. He opined that despite her possessing natural talents, she doesn't have "
Lady Gaga's edge,
Katy Perry's chutzpah nor
Rihanna's élan" adding her "drive, passion, [and] unstinting commitment to succeed" is what sets her apart from other singers.[22]
Scherzinger has developed an image as a sex symbol and "one of the hottest women on the planet."[152] Since 2006 she has been featured on FHM's "
100 Sexiest Women" list peaking at number nine in 2011 and 2014.[153] In 2012,
VH1 ranked her eighth on their list of "100 Sexiest Artists",[154] while Complex magazine ranked her twenty-ninth on their list of "The 100 Hottest Female Singers of All Time".[155]
Personal life
In late 2012, Scherzinger spoke of her experiences with
bulimia at the height of the popularity of the Pussycat Dolls. She struggled with
body dysmorphia before an early photo shoot with the group triggered her bulimic behavior, which lasted nearly a decade. She eventually overcame the disorder through therapists and life coaches.[22]
Relationships
Scherzinger considers herself shy and keeps her personal life to herself, and declines to answer questions in interviews that pertain to her relationships.[16][14] When asked, Scherzinger states, "My music is the only place I'm open about it."[16] Scherzinger was engaged to
Nick Hexum, lead singer of
311, whom she dated from 2000 to 2004.[156] Scherzinger commenced a high-profile relationship with
Formula 1 World Champion
Lewis Hamilton, after meeting at the
2007 MTV Europe Music Awards in
Munich.[157] Their on-and-off relationship of seven years was a
tabloid fixture in the British press.[158][159] They separated for the final time in February 2015.[160] In 2016, she was involved in a romantic relationship with Bulgarian tennis player
Grigor Dimitrov that ended in early 2019.[161] In January 2020, Scherzinger confirmed her relationship with former Scottish rugby player
Thom Evans.[161] On June 27, 2023, it was confirmed that they were engaged.[162]
Politics
Scherzinger endorsed
Barack Obama's
2008 presidential campaign; she appeared in the music video for will.i.am's song "
Yes We Can" (2008), which was inspired by Obama's speech after the
2008 New Hampshire primary.[163] She has taken a public
pro-life stance,[164] and avoids identifying as a
feminist. She says instead, "I'm just for women. I'm also for the human race in general."[17] She is a supporter of
LGBTQ rights[165] and in 2017, through Billboard, Scherzinger published a "love letter" to the LGBTQ community in which she praised the community for "standing strong against adversity and [for being] a community that unites for change."[166]
Scherzinger along with numerous other artists were featured on the single "Love Song to the Earth", which was released in September 2015 ahead of the
2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference, as part of the global campaign to raise awareness on climate change.[173] In September 2016, Scherzinger along with numerous other artists were featured on
the remake of the
Black Eyed Peas song "
Where Is the Love?" where all proceeds went towards will.i.am's non-profit foundation, i.am.angel Foundation.[174] In August 2019, she took part in the
protests against the building of the
Thirty Meter Telescope on
Mauna Kea; a place considered a holy spiritual site for native Hawaiians.[175]
