Nikki Hinson

Nikki Lee Hinson was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas to Ronda and Vincent Hinson. She has one older sister, Mandi, one older step-brother Michael, a younger brother Nathan, a younger step-sister Brittany, and some German, Irish, and English ancestry. An openly creative and imaginative child, she found the love of entertaining at the age of three. When she was about twelve years old, Nikki's Aunt, a costume designer for a children's theatre in Houston, Texas, invited her to a summer workshop where she was cast as Violet Beauregard in a production of "Willy Wonka". After that she was hooked. Nikki returned to Houston every summer in high school to perform with the Express Children's Theatre and eventually performed a local tour with the company. For ten consecutive years Nikki stayed active in the Texas performance circuit, performing in over 30 regional and college theatrical productions. Nikki obtained her Bachelor of Arts Degree from Texas Wesleyan University, with an emphasis on directing and performance. Since then she continues to stay active with directing, writing, and performing for independent film projects. She lives in Los Angeles, California with her family.
