Willing to bet she's less proud of you. I really hope your "surviving high school" is a joke. Can't be bothered to watch it, because I suspect it isn't.
I am a self taught bass player with slight listens I'm at that level but YOU THE TRUTH. I even learned a trick or two from you. Stay Beasty . In your case Beast - ie
My brother (Breeze Canada) and his band (Zone Seven) did a cover of this song in a bar one night and added two guitar solos. It was dope asf, but this version is better. IJS
Soul and groove are vibrating from her voice to her fingers like crazy, this is good, pure, sincere and true, keep going like that, that's what I call music, the one going under your skin and making you smile and move without controlling yourself ;)
you fell from the moon, today, till now did not know of your existence, and I was moved to hear you, I salute you and I wish you a great career from Italy ciao P.
I'm a 42 year old man and I started feeling like a school girl around a boy-band... except this lady has some serious talent. Sing me to sleep anytime.
I had a pretty long night trying to get by selling food. Even after a shower I still smell of burgers, fries, and dishwasher water. This makes me me ready for another.
So very a great woman, with great instrument, were my inspiration, for never in all my life stop the play the bass electric, and double bass, God bless your hands baby!
Why am I just now discovering your music and why aren't you all over the radio! You are absolutely amazing! May God continue to bless you and your talent beyond measure. Do you do live performances or are you available for bookings? If so, please let me know how.
dam!!!! that glowing skin..that smile..that saucy voice..and that bass playing...make a grown man cry..mercy!!! so glad i did not pass this one buy...thanks for sharing your passion with the world..much respect..
One of these days you'll be on Major Record Labels Like Capitol Records or Columbia Records or Epic Records or Atlantic Records or Warner Records(Formerly Warner Bros. Records)or Motown Records or RCA Records or Hollywood Records or Interscope Records or Virgin Records(Virgin Music)or on iTunes or Spotify or Amazon Music or Apple Music or CD Baby or any other streaming service or on an indie record label-you are truly talented
Was surely my best friend. Gone too soon!... This was his beanie that he took off and gave to me while we were in Australia this year. It's a hard video for me to watch now.
***** Did you just happen to be in Australia touring at the same time or did he invite you? Of course he played solo and was here for just over a week and only announced his shows a matter of days before he arrived .. I couldn't believe it when I read a review of him playing in Melbourne 4 times the previous week! How many times did you attend the magical performances? You are so lucky to have known Prince personally, and musically :)
OMG! I'm 35 and watching this thinking, "This is the woman I wanted to grow up to be when I was in high school!" Beautiful woman, beautiful voice, and that's a very beautiful guitar lol!
me too... i'm happy Nik is living out her dream... i remind myself everyday how important it is for girls to get support from family, and their communities... too many do not.
🤯 Wtf did I just stumble upon and witness(?) This Gifted... Talented Musician! Wow!!!! It's almost 2025 and I have found a new refreshing sound! Thank You Sister!❤
@NikWestBass no, thank you! I am truly amazed by your skill... I'm a poor man's songwriter, and I would love to pen some words and emotions down for you and your "bass guitar"
So the voice of an angel, bass skills out of this world and to top it off - you're hella gorgeous! How did someone get THIS lucky at the birth lottery?! lol, amazing stuff Nik!
Every time I watch one of your videos, the seamless integration of your voice and amazing bass lines leaves me in awe! And the perfect harmony and rhythm!! Why is my jaw dropped and my mouth open!!! After watching you, I can’t say that I play a bass, I can only say I have one. You are simply incredibly awesome!
You’ve got a lot of soul and you can really sing. I’d love to see the simplicity of you and your bass recorded for a song. I know it can’t be done but wish it could.
not only the skills in bass are extremely sophisticated, but the vocals are amazing as well!
Thanks so much!!!
love it u have talent
@@NikWestBass8 years later still a banger!!🔥
2:35 the GREATEST Stank Face I have ever seen in my entire life and a justified one to!
Oh man that whole video was magical!
Proud to say that’s my cousin 🥰!

@Andre Shaw... Do you know what chords Ms. West plays at the intro/verse? I just started self-taught a few months ago. Thank You!
I wish I could like this video more than once. so smooth.
My brother (Breeze Canada) and his band (Zone Seven) did a cover of this song in a bar one night and added two guitar solos. It was dope asf, but this version is better. IJS

Soul and groove are vibrating from her voice to her fingers like crazy, this is good, pure, sincere and true, keep going like that, that's what I call music, the one going under your skin and making you smile and move without controlling yourself ;)
Man. I never want her to stop playing and singing these covers. It's perfection.
This could be a perfect definition of what 'groove' is... I just love it Nik

Nik is nasty with that bass!
I'm 36 next week and I'm inspired by how good you're to pick up an instrument (guitar/bass) again. Thanks for this♊️😀
Way too amazing. She slappin'
I can't get enough of this performance, it's simply amazing!
Thank you!
You would hope someone called you back?! Have you taken a look at yourself?!?! You're pure ART! I'd call you everyday!
I had a pretty long night trying to get by selling food. Even after a shower I still smell of burgers, fries, and dishwasher water. This makes me me ready for another.
so moving! hope you find what you were looking for!
What beautiful playing, beautiful soulful singing and a beautiful woman. Fabulous. Thank you for posting, Ms West.

Did Macy Gray and Marcus Miller have a baby? You are amazing.
LOL! That's pretty interesting.. I can hear it though. hehe
If they did,...Bootsy Collins must have crept in one night and hit it too. :-)
Blk chick + rasp = Macy Gray lol. Your voice is lower, richer, and smoother than Macy's though (no shade Macy.)
Maybe they got down while covering that Prince song "Girls and Boys" th-cam.com/video/FuEt5aibpn0/w-d-xo.html
@@shadowmixx Yes...lol
honestly if any one doesn't instantly fall in love with you after you play this song for them well they have no heart, so awesome
I love love love this song. Musiq Soulchild's version was good, but this is great.
His version? Creation. Agreed this is a amazing version.
OH MY GOSH....!!!! This version....!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!
Pqp véi! Top demais.

Prince was tweeting this one and that was how I saw it.. Prince posts dated 2/26/16..
+Carolyn the real Prince did?
Yes you can still see his tweets (a lot) by searching Prince (@prince) on Twitter :)
Was surely my best friend. Gone too soon!... This was his beanie that he took off and gave to me while we were in Australia this year. It's a hard video for me to watch now.

@@NikWestBass Thanks 4 all. Your slap is really killing me 🤪
Kisses from Paris
You Rock, Nik. Not too often to see a female base player let alone one who has the whole package. You will go far, no doubt. ♡♡♡ peace ✌
The voice of an angel. Davie504 brought me here.
Same lol
He's entertaining. I was wondering if he knew of her.
Same here....!!!!
can u send the link of the video here?
Ha ha. . Me too, she owns a beer to Dave768
Your voice is so natural and refreshing. Pure and simple NikWest rocks!
This is wonderful! You should totally do a cover of an Amy Winehouse song.
I hear that so often.. I think it's time to do it! I love her voice.
Awesome! I can't wait to see it.
Also, Amy would have turned 33 today. So it would be fitting. :)
This right here is the voice of life
Who the fuck can dislike this?
+tube9ovejas Apparently someone can. Boggles my mind. I'm really stressing the "one" in someone.
+tube9ovejas LOL! There's that one person that follows all my videos and dislikes all of them as soon as they're posted... haha! kidding.. thanks!!
+NikWestBass This is truly marvellous
+tube9ovejas One person who hates everything.
+tube9ovejas Brother/Sister, I have no idea!

You’ve got a lot of soul and you can really sing. I’d love to see the simplicity of you and your bass recorded for a song. I know it can’t be done but wish it could.

This is so good!
