Nicole Row

Nicole Sue Row (born June 30, 1991) is an American musician and singer known for touring with Miley Cyrus[1] in 2017 and Panic!

She previously worked with Troye Sivan, Daya, Fat Joe, Remy Ma, Ty Dolla Sign,[3] Dallas Austin[4] Christina Perri, and Dua Lipa.

Row came into rehearsals expecting to play nothing but keyboard bass, but Cyrus directed her musicians to bring more personal flair to the live show.

[6] On upright bass, Row backed Cyrus singing "Malibu" at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards in May, and again in June for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, also performing "Inspired".

Playing electric bass guitar in October, Row supported Cyrus singing "The Climb" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

at the Disco frontman Brendon Urie was expected to play bass in studio recordings, keeping Row in a touring role.

[13] Between Panic dates, Row collaborated with other musicians, including Dua Lipa on the song "Levitating" performed live for Time 100 Next in May 2021.

[15] She joined Jack Conte's Scary Pockets YouTube project covering Chicago's "Saturday in the Park" in July 2022,[16] and also for a re-invention of the Bruno Mars song "Grenade".

Boyd praised Row's musicianship, saying she "put her own stamp" on the old songs,[18] for instance adding a chordal style intro to "Nice to Know You".

She said in September 2024 that she was looking forward to adding more of the slap bass technique used by Incubus's first bassist, Dirk Lance, on nu metal songs such as "A Certain Shade of Green".

Row has expanded her pedal collection to its greatest extent with Incubus, having previously been a minimalist: "I was that annoying person who felt all of the sound had to come from their hands."

Her pedals now include a Dunlop Mini Crybaby Wah, a Dunlop Volume Pedal Mini, an Electro-Harmonix POG (polyphonic octave generator), an MXR Phaser, an Ibanez Chorus, a Darkglass Vintage Microtubes, an Electro-Harmonix Bass Big Muff, a Darkglass Microtubes B3K, and an MXR Envelope Filter.

[20] Under luthier Roger Sadowsky, Row learned how to construct bass guitars, and she began to design her own models with the guidance of L. Ellis Hahn of L.E.H.
