As she had missed the opportunity to represent Cyprus in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2010, Nicole decided to give Greek Idol a go.

The following day after the Cyprus National Final, she went for the Greek Idol audition and the judges had been left amazed with her vocal abilities.

In August 2010, Nicole had appeared next to Giannis Ploutarchos/Melisses/Valando Tryfonos and Stergios Ntaousanakis in Thessaloniki for two months and consequently, from October 2010 up until the beginning of March 2011, she had been singing next to Despoina Vandi at Vox in Athens.
